President Roosevelt rebukes Admiral Crowninshield for the tone of his previous letter, which made it sound as though Roosevelt had made an unqualified promise to put Crowninshield’s son, Casper S. Crowninshield, in a diplomatic post. Roosevelt reminds Crowninshield that he made the promise with the understanding that he would make the promotion as long as “it could be done without injustice to those with superior claims from the standpoint of the governmental service.” The State Department is currently disinclined to change the Consulship at Naples, as the current consul is approaching retirement age. When the time comes for him to retire and the Consulship in Naples change, Roosevelt promises to review Crowninshield’s case, but cannot promise that he will get the position.
