Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Lewis Childs

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Lewis Childs

President Roosevelt’s mind was relieved by the information John Childs Lewis provided about long-eared owls. Roosevelt discusses the breeding and nesting habits of sandpipers and brown thrashers. Roosevelt is disappointed he found a song sparrow rather than a grasshopper sparrow near his home, Sagamore Hill, but pleased a black-throated green warbler showed up in time for him to show it to Childs and John Burroughs.
