John Hay writes to Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt asking him to see what he can do to appoint Paul Joseph Dashiell as a professor at the United States Naval Academy. He also updates Roosevelt on his recent travels and describes the condition of his traveling companions. Hay says that while he does not prefer to live in Washington, D.C., the place suits Roosevelt. Hay remembers fondly his own time in Lafayette Square and the early summer days spent with the Lodge family.
