Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt assures Richard Rush that he will do what he can but reminds him that Secretary of the Navy John Davis Long likely will not give heed. He hopes Rush will write an article on the attack against the pirate ships, and he could try to get it published. Roosevelt asks Rush to write to the Cleveland Militia.
