General Crozier, the Chief of Ordnance, sends William Loeb a bill for 200 ball cartridges for President Roosevelt to sign. Roosevelt had asked for twenty cartridges to be taken out of the package and given to him, but as the box was already sealed, Crozier decided it would be best to leave it as such, and instead sends Roosevelt twenty cartridges from the Frankford Arsenal. It is more convenient for him to not charge Roosevelt for these rounds, so he delivers them for “experimental use, hoping to ascertain from him the results of trying them upon living animals.”
