Senator Lodge is right about the dates for Hieron I, but President Roosevelt said Hieron II ruled 50 years after Alexander the Great. Roosevelt is excited to see the Philistis coin. He encloses a copy of the letter he sent to Chairman Francis E. Warren along with Chief of Ordnance William Crozier’s findings concerning the presence of antimony in the chemical analysis of various bullets issued by the army at the time of the Brownsville Affair.
