Hagenbeck, Carl, 1844-1913

Harry Johnston thanks Theodore Roosevelt for sending his collection of essays on birds and mammals. Johnson was also sorry to read in the papers that Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt fell from her horse. He plans to visit Germany and Holland soon to study breeding in Europe, and mentioned an invitation from Booker Washington to attend the Negro Confrence in Alabama.
