President Roosevelt endorses Edgar R. Champlin to Assistant Secretary of State Loomis as a candidate to send to San Domingo as a commissioner. He believes Champlin to be a better candidate than James Rockwell, although Rockwell is also qualified. He wonders, if more than one commissioner is required, if Alastair Penrose Gordon-Cumming would be a good fit for the sort of work required.
