Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte has informed Paymaster General Harris that he will not be disturbed before October 1. Although Bonaparte is taking the papers concerning the candidates with him on his voyage to Lenox, he does not think that he will be able to make a recommendation before August 15. He believes that an Inspector should be selected, but he confesses to President Roosevelt that he is not enthusiastic about any of the candidates, as the Corps contains “worse than indifferent material.” Bonaparte also informs Roosevelt that he has divided the armor contract and has prepared a memorandum explaining the reasons for his actions.
