This memorandum thanks Paymaster General Harris for being willing to continue his duties until a replacement is able to take over. Following Harris’s suggestions of suitable candidates to succeed him, it was determined that Rear Admiral Eustace Barron Rogers would be the best candidate, and inquiries were made regarding his willingness to accept the position. Rogers has notified Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton of his acceptance, to take effect later in the year. Roosevelt personally thanks Harris for the excellence of his administration, and suggests that he have his resignation take effect on November 1, 1905.
