Francise E. Leupp writes to thank President Roosevelt for an enclosure and to give his opinion on the recent appointment of Eugene F. Ware as commissioner of pensions over the incumbent Henry Clay Evans. Leupp thinks that Evans should have been promoted and thinks that Roosevelt will thank him later for his candor. He has no desire to “play Brutus” to Roosevelt’s Caesar. In a postscript, Leupp asks to meet with Roosevelt when convenient to talk about certain ideas.
