Letter from A. J. Woodcock to Theodore Roosevelt

A. J. Woodcock praises President Roosevelt’s writings about the West and his embodiment of “the strenuous life.” He presents an old Roman coin that Woodcock’s father obtained in Catania, Sicily, as a “souvenir of the regard of the sportsmen of America for you, their chief.” Woodcock noticed with interest the recent visit of Chief White Calf and the Blackfeet Indian delegation to the Capitol.
