George Edward Graham is concerned that a letter written to him by Admiral Schley has appeared in print and might compromise Schley with the Navy Department. The letter was sent to Graham’s publishers to show that Admiral Schley considered Graham’s book an authority on the Santiago campaign. The letter was marked confidential and appeared in a few circulars before being stopped. Graham hopes that this information will influence President Roosevelt to let the matter rest.
