President Roosevelt regrets to inform Algernon Edward Sartoris that he is unable to appoint Sartoris as he had discussed. Secretary of State Elihu Root has made complaints against the appointment, stemming from Root’s investigation into Sartoris’s resignation from the army and his personal conduct. Roosevelt is not willing to disregard Root’s protests in this matter, since Sartoris would serve under Root.
