Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Adam Monroe Byrd

President Roosevelt tells Mississippi Representative Byrd that he cannot appoint Mr. McCatto as a second lieutenant as he is over-age and married. Roosevelt found that by making one exception to the age limit, he was forced into making a host of other exceptions, and has therefore decided that there should be no exceptions for anyone. If Byrd can nominate someone who is eligible, Roosevelt will gladly designate him.
