Surgeon-General Wyman of the United States Marine Hospital Service was pleased to receive William Loeb’s letter, and has taken his advice to consult with Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte when possible. Bonaparte is not sure if he will be asked to recommend a successor to “Admiral H.” soon, as Roosevelt may wait to fill the position until March 1907. Wyman reports that there is some doubt within the Navy Department whether “Mr. L’s” papers are on file, and mentions that if any are with Loeb, it would be good to send them to the department so that they are on record. The weather in Chevy Chase has been hot, but it agrees with Wyman’s health.
