As it was never published, it appears the letter David S. Chamberlain told James Sullivan Clarkson about is lost. Chamberlain encloses an article capturing the letter’s ideas, including his views on the necessity of a strong navy and providing means of support and asks Clarkson to share it with President Roosevelt. He will visit Clarkson during an upcoming trip to New York.
