Walter Church reports to Lieutenant-Colonel Roosevelt that he stayed in Boston as long as he could, and then headed to Skagway, Alaska, where he is currently practicing law. Church congratulates Roosevelt on the promotion, and expresses his confidence that in time he will be voting for Roosevelt for president. Church thinks Alaska has a great future and hopes that Roosevelt might help him apply to be a United States Commissioner in Skagway, should the position open.
