THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY
NAVY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON.
November 29, 1897.
My dear Mr. Peary:
You are most kind to send me that Polar
bear skin. Indeed I shall prize it greatly,
though it will be a constant regret to me that
I did not kill it myself, for most of my trophies
represent my own mild prowess.
I am glad to hear that you are to address
the Royal Geographical and Royal Scottish So-
cieties. When you come back I wish you would
give me a chance to see you.
Very sincerely yours,
Theodore Rooscult
Civil Engineer R. E. Peary, U. S. N.,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
