President Roosevelt explains to James R. Branch that after his son was fatally injured at the Naval Academy, they received a note from his private secretary, claiming to speak for him, requesting a certain Dr. Kerr be sent to take care of his son. Roosevelt does not know anything about Dr. Finney, whose services Branch says the naval authorities will pay for. If it is in their power to pay for Dr. Kerr, Roosevelt will see that they do so.
