Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Thomas Barbour

Theodore Roosevelt looked up the Auk as Thomas Barbour suggested and was amused by Abbott Handerson Thayer’s allusion to Barbour and John C. Phillips. Thayer has likely seen Roosevelt’s pamphlet and is welcome to turn his wrath towards him. Roosevelt does not understand how naturalists continue to take Thayer seriously and hopes Barbour and Phillips will make a serious attack against him and his dishonesty.

Letter from Thomas Barbour to Theodore Roosevelt

Thomas Barbour says he and John C. Phillips are upset by something written by Abbott Handerson Thayer in the October Issue of “The Auk” periodical, although it is amusing since it directly follows Francis H. Allen’s positive review of Roosevelt’s work. He encourages Theodore Roosevelt to read the passage as well. Barbour says he and Thayer may have to respond.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Thomas Barbour
