C. J. Blanchard responds to Theodore Roosevelt’s previous inquiry regarding E. B. Summers, a Junior Engineer recently dismissed from the Engineering Department of the Army. He provides a detailed account of Summers’s quality of work, character, and recent assignment. Should Roosevelt wish to take any action on Summers’s behalf, he should correspond with General W.H. Bixby, though Blanchard request that he not be quoted, as his intel comes from Bixby’s division.
