Letter from Arthur Walbridge North to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Arthur Walbridge North to Theodore Roosevelt

Arthur Walbridge North has sent President Roosevelt the hide of a bighorn sheep which he hunted in Lower California, Mexico. He did not send the head as he donated it to his alma mater, the University of California, Berkeley, but he sends a photograph of the sheep after it was shot. While he was in Mexico, North learned about two types of lions, designated as mountain lions and pumas, with distinct physical and behavioral characteristics.

Note from Winthrop Chanler to William Austin Wadsworth

Note from Winthrop Chanler to William Austin Wadsworth

Winthrop Chanler relays a new conclusion that he reached at church. When Abraham was binding Isaac for sacrifice, a ram caught his attention and was offered instead. Chanler notes that “if it had not been for that ram, there never would have been any Jews” and wonders how any one can go on eating mutton. He jokingly states that the only thing that “consoled” him from “learning this frightful news” was that they did not hold collection.
