Letter from Ernest Thompson Seton to Theodore Roosevelt

Ernest Thompson Seton was glad to receive the latest news from Theodore Roosevelt’s hunt in Africa. Seton’s book on North American mammals came out earlier in November and has received good reviews. A copy is waiting for Roosevelt in New York. He offers a discussion about the relationship between monogamy and sanitation practices among mammals. He believes that monogamy is more beneficial and asks if Roosevelt can pay attention to any evidence of polygamous ruminants with sanitary practices. He also points out that lions are believed to be monogamous and asks Roosevelt to keep signs of monogamy in mind while collecting information about them.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Thomas Barbour

Theodore Roosevelt writes Thomas Barbour, the curator of reptiles and amphibians at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, to compliment his article and say he will remember that quotation from the Chilean government. He says it is exasperating to have to answer “a poor creature” like Allen who does not know anything about any subject. Roosevelt may be referring to Barbour’s colleague Glover M. Allen.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Thomas Barbour

Theodore Roosevelt writes Thomas Barbour, the curator of reptiles and amphibians at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, to complain about Allen’s attack on Roosevelt’s article about animal coloration. He may be referring to Barbour’s colleague Glover M. Allen. He defends his article and also cites Abbott Handerson Thayer’s work. Roosevelt feels The Auk should be ashamed of publishing Allen’s piece and tells Barbour to show this letter to any ornithologists he wishes. He wants Barbour to come to Oyster Bay so they can do experiments with black and white cloths.
