Theodore Roosevelt will be unable to help Mr. Currier acquire a commission. He helped Kermit Roosevelt with his commission because Kermit has years of experience in Africa and South America that made him suitable for service in Mesopotamia. He suggests that Currier contact General Kuhn at the War College or attempt to join the Air Corps.
