President Roosevelt is concerned by former Rough Rider Roy F. Haydon’s letter. He would like to help, but he receives many similar requests, and there is a limit to the number of former Rough Riders he can appoint to government positions. He suggests that Haydon speak to Ben Daniels, another former Rough Rider and U.S. Marshal in Arizona Territory, to see if he can do anything for him.
