President Roosevelt was interested to read John B. Goff’s letter and is pleased that Goff is on good terms with Major John Pitcher, Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park. Roosevelt is sorry that the elk have had a bad winter but recommends not killing cougar off unless they are in the neighborhood of where the deer and sheep are. He was also interested in a story that Goff told him of a bear running for cover inside Yellowstone to escape hunters. Roosevelt finally remarks that he was glad to hear about Goff’s dogs and mentions that Skip is doing well and stays with his son Archibald B. Roosevelt much of the time.
