President Roosevelt asks Acting Secretary of the Interior Frank Pierce to detail Henry Gannett to Roosevelt, once he is finished assisting with the Cuban Census. If Pierce does this, Roosevelt will assign Gannett to help the National Conservation Commission create a report detailing the natural resources of the United States. Roosevelt believes that Gannett will be a great help, and so is sending a copy of this letter to Secretary of War Luke E. Wright, to whom Gannett is currently detailed.
