Admiral Evans informs Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt that he has turned his ankle and must take care of himself to be able to work when he arrives in Key West, Florida. He encloses requests for command of a large ship and movement of guard boats. He writes that the “safety of our fleet will depend on the promptness with which the guard boats are sent to Key West.” Evans regrets not being able to have lunch together as planned.
