President Roosevelt does not need to personally see Clayton Rockhill’s invention himself, but if Rockhill knows to whom he would like to show it in the Navy or Army, Roosevelt will give him a letter to ensure it will be carefully considered. Roosevelt cannot give a letter of introduction for a man he does not know, but since the young man will be in the company of William H. Taft’s nephew, perhaps he can give an introduction that will cover them both.
