Arthur B. Farquhar commends General Leonard Wood’s “grand work” in Cuba and wishes that the country showed more gratefulness to this man. Farquhar plans to visit Cuba and offers to report his findings to President Roosevelt. He comments on the upcoming presidential election and approves of Roosevelt’s policies on New York financial issues, the Panama Canal, and China. Farquhar encloses a letter from his friend Dr. Henry Franklin Hoyt and recommends him for the position of sanitary expert in Panama.
