Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson has read the papers President Roosevelt asked Albert L. Key to show him and is in favor of Roosevelt’s special message. He has some suggestions if Roosevelt will meet with him. Key has heard that Admiral George Albert Converse is basing his report on misleading data from the Bureau of Ordnance and the Bureau of Construction and Repair. Roosevelt was right to talk to Captain Cameron McRae Winslow before acting on the report. Thankfully, the facts will quickly be discovered after the report is submitted.
