John Byrne thanks Francis C. Travers for the note that contained Judge John Thomas McDonough’s letter, and is pleased with President Roosevelt’s expression of confidence. Byrne’s next article will be on imperialism and the Philippines. Bryne needs a long rest, and asks Travers not to make any plans for him at Oyster Bay for two weeks. A note from Travers issues instructions not to make any appointments for Byrne until he comes back from the sea.
