Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt shares with Secretary of the Navy Long that Attorney General J. McKenna is reluctant to appoint special counsels. President William McKinley will wait until Long returns before acting on the nomination for Surgeon General James Rufus Tryon’s place. Roosevelt sends letters from the Armor Factory Board and shares his thoughts about what the Board should do. Upon Long’s return, Roosevelt will stay a few days to update him and then go home for his holiday.
