Letter from Frederick Courteney Selous to Theodore Roosevelt
Frederick Courteney Selous writes to President Roosevelt on behalf of prominent English athlete Charles Burgess Fry to ask if Roosevelt would be willing to write an article for C. B. Fry’s Magazine, a publication dedicated to encouraging athleticism and outdoor activities in boys. The nature of land distribution in England means that outdoor activities are more difficult than in the United States or Canada which have more open areas, so he and Fry would particularly appreciate if Roosevelt would speak to his outdoorsmanship.
