Dan T. Moore writes President Roosevelt about a first lieutenant, Clarence Northup Jones, who has twice been denied promotion on moral grounds. Jones is appealing the decision, and Moore asks Roosevelt to review the case himself and deny Jones the promotion. Moore does not want Jones to be promoted because he would then be assigned to Moore’s regiment, and he does not want Jones associating with his family.
