President Roosevelt sends Brigadier General James Allen an enclosed letter from Delbert W. Cram relating to a trip into the Arctic Circle proposed by signal corps officer Charles W. H. Heideman to collect botanical specimens. Roosevelt believes that, “if an enlisted man wishes to and can do this kind of work, every bit of encouragement that can be given to him should be given.”
