Claude H. Wetmore explains to Theodore Roosevelt that he is writing a children’s book on the American Navy. However, caring for his family prevents him from working on it and he asks Roosevelt to loan him $300 with the plan to repay the loan in ten dollar weekly installment. Wetmore also assures Roosevelt that a publisher has already given advanced assurance of publication.
