William S. Cowles thanks President Roosevelt for the opportunity to represent the United States at the Québec celebration, and says he will take both Anna Roosevelt Cowles and their son William with him. He is looking forward to flying his flag again, even if it is only for a couple days. Cowles appreciates the chance to remain in his office as Chief of Bureau of Equipment for the Navy Department until the end of Roosevelt’s term, and for the good report of him that Roosevelt gave to Secretary of War William H. Taft.
