President Roosevelt believes he must have expressed himself poorly to Representative Edward B. Vreeland if Admiral Willard H. Brownson’s feelings were hurt by the letter. He explains to Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte that he was concerned more with the legislation and differentiation between the cases of hazing than he was with what had been done at the Naval Academy in the past. Roosevelt tells Bonaparte that he thinks highly of Brownson, and would like to see him succeed Admiral George Albert Converse in the Bureau of Navigation.
