Release by Detroit News

George E. Miller sends Theodore Roosevelt a news release by the Detroit News, which he thought Roosevelt might like to read. The News reports the interaction of the House Committee on Appropriations with administrators of the Smithsonian Institution in a slightly humorous manner, focusing on the preoccupation of several representatives with whether any money would be going to fund Roosevelt’s safari expedition. While the hearings were going on, the Smithsonian institution issued its annual report stating that Roosevelt’s expedition was financed by private sources.

Letter from Cyrus Adler to Theodore Roosevelt

Cyrus Adler, acting secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, confirms receipt of President Roosevelt’s letter addressed to Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Walcott has recently left Washington, D.C., to spend time in the field, but the letter will be forwarded to him at once. Adler thanks Roosevelt for giving the Smithsonian Institution preference in receiving any specimens he collects on his safari, and asks that Roosevelt not communicate with any other museum until Walcott has a chance to receive the forwarded letter and respond. While Adler cannot promise anything, he feels justified saying that it is likely that the men and money necessary for Roosevelt’s trip will be forthcoming.
