S. B. M. Young hopes to present his soon-to-be wife to President Roosevelt sometime in 1908 and thinks the appointment at West Point would be a perfect trip for a bride. Though he would welcome the appointment, if there is another who Roosevelt would honor this year, he can wait until 1909. He is currently busy handling coyotes, and he enjoys the climate as well as the work.
