President Roosevelt tells Major General Wood that his recent letter impressed both Secretary of War William H. Taft and himself. Roosevelt is attempting to convince Congress to grant Wood the tract of land he desires at Fort McKinley, but he has a hard time convincing them on military matters. He informs the Major General that he will be stationed in the Philippines until after the elections when he will be brought back to America, and that Taft will visit the country in September.
