President Roosevelt informs Secretary of War Taft that he does not think they should send for Oliver as he does not feel he is suitable for the work that needs to be done, especially if Oliver cannot find two appropriate contractors with the money that has been secured. Instead, Stevens may be called on to do the work. Roosevelt is impressed by Pearl Wight’s letter and is ready to act on it if needed.
