Bates, Alfred E. (Alfred Elliot), 1840-1909
Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alfred E. Bates
President Roosevelt cannot appoint General Bates to the West Point Board of Visitors because he has already promised General Young an appointment to that board. He would guarantee Bates a position next year if he could, but he will not be in the position to make that decision.
