Memorandum by Charles H. Lee
Charles H. Lee recounts his trip from Oyster Bay to Washington, D.C., transporting a horse for President Roosevelt. Although a letter had been written giving him permission to ride in the caboose, he was not allowed to do so and followed on the next passenger train. In Washington, the agent at first did not want to release the horse without payment, but finally did so after Lee assured that a message from the White House would be telephoned to protect him from punishment.
