Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte denies the charge that he is going to participate in the Philadelphia campaign, noting that he will rather devote his energies to the campaign in Massachusetts. He will attend to President Roosevelt’s suggestions regarding revisions to naval regulations as soon as he can discuss the matter with Admiral Converse. He will also request reports on the repairs of various vessels, as requested by Roosevelt. He addresses a concern to Roosevelt about the transition from Charles Hial Darling to Truman Handy Newberry as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Both parties seem anxious to proceed, but the gentleman whom Darling is replacing in Vermont has not announced a definite date for his departure from his post. Bonaparte looks forward to accepting Roosevelt’s invitation to Oyster Bay, on his return from the Berkshires.
