President Theodore Roosevelt typed letter signed on official White House letterhead, dated 4 June 1904. Letter is addressed to his friend Charles Jesse ''Buffalo'' Jones, whom Roosevelt appointed head Game Warden of Yellowstone National Park in 1902. Here, Roosevelt discusses bison, as Jones was a proponent of the animal and introduced them to the park. Reads in full: ''I am very sorry to learn of the death of those wild buffalo, but I am much pleased at what you tell me of the calf crop in the tame herd. I will take up at once with the Secretary the matter of cross-breeding, and let you know.'' With a large and bold ''Theodore Roosevelt'' signature. Also includes original postmarked envelope and a 3'' x 3.25'' photo of the President on horseback. Single page typed letter on a single sheet of card-style stationery measures 7.25'' x 8.75''. Toning and small chips to edges. Very good condition.
