Letter from L. C. Sanford to Theodore Roosevelt
L. C. Sanford introduces himself to Theodore Roosevelt, and asks him if he might be willing to write a letter of introduction to the government of Newfoundland, Canada, in order to allow himself and Edward William Nelson to travel there for some time to collect biological specimens. Nelson is in poor health, and may stay in the more healthy climate there for some time, but requires a permit from the government in order to do so. Sanford has written to the Newfoundland government previously, but has not gotten any results and hopes that Roosevelt’s influence may help produce an answer.
