Letter from Newton A. Throop to Theodore Roosevelt

Newton A. Throop has heard that President Roosevelt is planning a hunting trip to Mississippi and invites the President to hunt on his land. He claims to have plenty of bears, deer, and turkeys for hunting. Also, he says that a group known as the Houston Boys owns much of the land along the river, but that they would probably let Roosevelt hunt on their forest land. They are Republican-leaning on all issues except black suffrage.
