Letter from George Bird Grinnell to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Bird Grinnell to Theodore Roosevelt

George Bird Grinnell writes that Theodore Roosevelt should laugh at the absurd news published about him. A. G. Wallihan will not be publishing his book of photographs with the Boone and Crockett Club at this time. A New York publisher will distribute it on a subscription basis. If they fail to get enough subscriptions to justify publishing it, then Wallihan will come back to the Boone and Crockett Club. Grinnell also asks for Roosevelt’s opinion on the idea that wild animals are dangerous if people live or pass through their areas.
