Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for allowing the USS Constitution to remain in Boston and encourages Roosevelt not to send the ship to Annapolis. Lodge also informs Roosevelt that he supports his plan to send the fleet on a cruise in the Pacific, but he anticipates a significant debate about it. Lodge also replies to Roosevelt’s letter of September 4 and says that he is glad the president has such a high opinion of Senator John Kean’s wine cellar.
