Click on image to zoom in
Representative Mudd urges President Roosevelt to approve the recommendation of Frederick Dent Grant to dismiss the soldier from the Hospital Corps who married a black woman. He suggests some possible language for a statement that Roosevelt could issue explaining the situation, and does not think that taking this course of action would lose Roosevelt any votes in the upcoming election, and may even gain him some.
