Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt shares with Stoney that he just returned from a three-day visit with a squadron of iron-clad ships. He wishes every “Doubting Thomas” could see them; then, there would be no difficulty in building an adequate navy. Stoney’s current station is interesting, and Roosevelt asks to be kept informed.
