President Roosevelt asks Charles J. Bonaparte to communicate with Puerto Rico’s Commissioner to the United States Congress, Tulio Larrinaga, about some matter. Responding to inquiries from Bonaparte, Roosevelt indicates that Bonaparte and himself should be the “judges in connection with the reappointment of midshipmen.” He recommends Sampson and Capron be dropped “one class and no farther.” Roosevelt also makes several recommendations for naval appointments.
