Holmes E. Offley is being considered for inclusion on the list of retired naval lieutenants. The bill that would allow this has been pending for several years due to the Naval Committee and a report that incorrectly reported Offley’s service in the Civil War. Senator Thomas S. Martin has reintroduced the bill, and considering Theodore Roosevelt’s prior experience with the Navy, Offley asks him to provide his endorsement.
