Vice President Roosevelt writes to Herbert Putnam, the Librarian of Congress, asking him to read an enclosed letter on behalf of Eugene B. O’Neill. O’Neill is the brother of William Owen “Bucky” O’Neill, who served as a Rough Rider, and Roosevelt has heard good things about him. He asks if it would be possible to give Eugene a trial to see how he does.
