Secretary of the Navy Moody forwards a letter from William Mayhew Folger to Admiral H. C. Taylor. Folger was recently appointed commander of the Philippine Squadron, and is intended to rise to command the Asiatic Fleet. Moody believes that Folger’s letter, and a letter from Lieutenant Commander Frank Friday Fletcher which is transcribed therein, reflect the “fine spirit” exhibited throughout the naval service.
