Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Dwight W. Huntington

President Roosevelt asks Dwight W. Huntington not to quote his recent letter regarding wildlife conservation, as he needs to do more research before issuing a public statement, but cannot do so at present. Roosevelt would like to discuss the matter with Huntington and C. Hart Merriam if they visit in the fall and believes he may be able to speak more definitely then.

President Roosevelt as critic and naturalist

Printer’s proof of William J. Long’s detailed response to President Roosevelt’s recent attack on his work in Everybody’s Magazine. Long argues that Roosevelt holds himself to be an expert in animal behavior, when there are many more qualified men than he. Further, Long says that Roosevelt claims to know the “heart of wild things,” but really all he does is kill those animals. Long provides details, witnesses, and a point by point rebuttal to prove Roosevelt’s attack is unwarranted. A handwritten note indicates the article will appear in “the important papers of New York, Boston, Chicago, etc.”
