Letter from George Brinton McClellan Harvey to Theodore Roosevelt
George Brinton McClellan Harvey thanks President Roosevelt for the information surrounding General Leonard Wood’s recent promotion, and promises that while he still believes “so rapid and great promotion is unwarranted and harmful,” he will try to be fair. Harvey quotes what he wrote about why he believed General Nelson Appleton Miles was passed over for promotion, namely that he “has been a thorn in the flesh of the administration,” and gathers that from what Roosevelt tells him this was approximately correct. He encloses an upcoming article that Roosevelt may be interested in reading.
