In his editorial for the Brunswick Journal, Small expresses his frustration that President Roosevelt selected Poultney Bigelow to represent the United States at an upcoming royal function, especially after Bigelow criticized the Rough Riders. There is also a handwritten note from Small, at the top of the article, that states he hopes Roosevelt can survive Bigelow.
