Theodore Roosevelt forwards to Secretary of War Stimson a letter from Joseph Bucklin Bishop. Roosevelt praises the work of both Bishop and Colonel George W. Goethals on the Panama Canal. Roosevelt says that he, Gifford Pinchot, and James Rudolph Garfield are all pleased that Stimson has accepted the appointment as Secretary of War, even though Pinchot and Garfield “are still inclined to be entirely off in matters political.”
