Letter from Robley D. Evans to Theodore Roosevelt
Click on image to zoom in
Rear Admiral Evans has not bothered the Department of the Navy knowing what Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt has in mind for him. He reports that conditions are not good and warns Roosevelt to prevent Spain from sending ships to Cuba and to send American vessels as quickly as possible. Evans does not think highly of a certain admiral or chief of staff. He instructs Roosevelt to keep the letter confidential.
