S. B. M. Young refutes a rumor he fears William Loeb may have heard that he is trying to remove General Hamilton Smith Hawkins from the leadership of the Soldiers’ Home, and states that he has “no desire to in any way inconvenience Gen. Hawkins.” Young does wish, however, for his grandson, Burton Y. Read, to be appointed as a cadet at the Military Academy in 1908. He wishes the Roosevelts and the Loebs a pleasant summer.
