George LeRoy Brown acknowledges receipt of Theodore Roosevelt’s letter and discusses the concept of compulsory versus voluntary arbitration. He quips that it’s just as important to “go-a-fishing” as it is to go to school. He also believes daily exercise is necessary for building character, but thinks convincing older army officers might be difficult.
