Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank M. Chapman

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank M. Chapman

President Roosevelt thanks Frank M. Chapman for the photographs, and thinks that Herbert Lang would be a perfect person to bring on his safari. Unfortunately, Roosevelt is going in service of the Smithsonian Institution, as he promised Charles D. Walcott, and guesses that the American Museum of Natural History would not care to lend Lang to the Smithsonian for this purpose. Roosevelt’s son, Kermit Roosevelt, will come visit soon.

Letter from Frank M. Chapman to Theodore Roosevelt

Frank M. Chapman sends President Roosevelt a book of photographs that Herbert Lang took in the region of British East Africa that Roosevelt is planning to visit on his safari. Chapman says that Lang, in addition to being a skilled photographer, is also well-trained in field taxidermy, and says that if Roosevelt would like to add him to his staff, the American Museum of Natural History would be glad to detail Lang to assist.
