President Roosevelt writes to Chief Regan of the Buffalo Police Department in New York regarding Anthony J. Gavin, a former Rough Rider. Roosevelt asks if there is any way in which Gavin’s work could be made easier, or if he could be given any favor. Gavin is getting on in years and Roosevelt feels an attachment to his old comrade-in-arms. Roosevelt hopes Regan will not misunderstand his action in writing to him.
