In this letter, Roosevelt expresses enthusiasm to see the journal of Governor William Clark, ancestor of R.C. Ballard Thruston. He regrets that he didn't know about the journal when writing his recently published book "The Winning of the West," but says he could still "doubtless use it in the next edition of my book." The letter was written when Roosevelt was President of the New York City Board of Police Commissioners and is typed on New York City Police Department stationary.
