Henry E. Rhoades reminisces on the ways in which his journalistic career has intersected with the political work of Theodore Roosevelt. He requests a favor from Roosevelt, hoping the former president can request Rhoades’s commendation from the Secretary of the Navy George von Lengerke Meyer when reporting on proposed Senate bill 2028. The passage of this bill would provide Rhoades with additional pension pay he receives after contracting an illness while in service on the Juniata expedition.
