President Roosevelt has received letters from both Vermont Senator Proctor and New Jersey Senator John Kean on behalf of Colonel Hugh Lenox Scott. In addition, General Leonard Wood has praised Scott and said that he should be made brigadier general. Roosevelt will make this promotion if he can but reminds Proctor of the resistance to promote men who are “nominally” junior.
