A. T. Mahan thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter and information therein. He would have liked to discuss the matter in person, but is entirely occupied by reviewing galleys and page proofs. Mahan wonders if Roosevelt ever feels the same way he does, in that the development of the navy and fortification of the Panama Canal seems only to be half completed, “and therefore perhaps worse than not done at all.”
