General Wood appreciates the kind motive behind President Roosevelt’s letter suggesting that he be reassigned out of concern for his health. However, Wood says that reports of his ill health are unfounded, and that he does not desire to leave his post until March 1907 at the earliest. He will frankly inform Roosevelt if there is any indication that a change is necessary and asks him to take no action until he requests it.
