Letter from James Andrew Drain to Elihu Root
James Andrew Drain asks Elihu Root if he could do anything to prompt the state of New York to join the Interstate National Guard Association. Drain also makes a personal appeal for Root to speak to Secretary of War William H. Taft on his behalf, as he hopes to be appointed to a position in the Philippines. Drain spoke to both President Roosevelt and Taft, but thinks Taft does not know his character well enough.
