John F. Cahill is involved in the design and development of a new sea-faring vessel which would open up trade between the Mississippi River Valley and South America. The vessel would be able to withstand new water depths and would contribute largely to the region’s wealth. Cahill wonders if Theodore Roosevelt might support this project and publish some words about it so that others might donate to the cause.
