A letter from Banner Shull, who had served in the motor company commanded by Quentin Roosevelt, was printed in an Indiana newspaper and was very complimentary of Quentin’s leadership. A copy was sent to Flora Whitney. Theodore Roosevelt has been working to have Tommy Hitchcock transferred to the American aviation service. Roosevelt has been on a three day speaking trip to Cincinnati, Ohio and the army camp at Chillicothe, Ohio. He was once again impressed by the officers and enlisted men but noticed an obvious lack of equipment.
