President Roosevelt instructs Acting Secretary of War Oliver how to respond to letters he has received regarding official travel expenditures. Roosevelt tells Oliver to ask Baldwin to come to Washington, D.C., to meet with the president. He also informs Oliver that Secretary of War William H. Taft is visiting the Philippines on duty and therefore his expenses are covered while in official capacity. Roosevelt promises to carefully review the circumstances before any vouchers are approved.
