William Frederick Cody requests that Lieutenant Clarence A. Stott of the 12th Cavalry be detailed for a year of cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, instead of completing his orders in the Philippines. President Roosevelt would like Stott to go to the school and, if not possible, asks that Secretary of War Root complete a thorough reply for Roosevelt to send to Cody.
