Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to C. Grant La Farge

President Roosevelt informs C. Grant La Farge that the Executive Committee of the Boone and Crockett Club should use the letter as they see fit. He especially wants it shown to the member who claims that his letter recommending Charles A. Moore to the Club’s committee was merely in return for political favors granted by Moore’s father, Charles A. Moore. While a man of excellent reputation, the elder Moore strongly opposed Roosevelt and never supported him. Instead, Roosevelt recommended the younger Moore because of his character and good views on sport and the serious work of life, which is precisely the type of member the Club needs more of.
