Robert E. Peary informs Theodore Roosevelt that the Committee on Naval Affairs unanimously reported a bill promoting him to Rear Admiral on the retired list with the thanks of Congress. The bill will next be presented in the House of Representatives. He expects Representatives R. B. Macon and Ernest W. Roberts to fight the matter. Roosevelt could “render invaluable assistance” by asking his friends in Congress to vote for the bill.
