Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John W. Daniel
President Roosevelt’s letter to Senator Daniel includes the text of a memorandum from the War Department. The memorandum states that it does not recommend allowing Lieutenant Colonel Junius Levert Powell to retire with the rank of brigadier-general. Other veterans with more distinguished careers and accomplishments have not retired with that rank. Roosevelt tells Daniel that there would be “considerable difficulty” caused by promoting Powell.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John W. Daniel
President Roosevelt informs Senator John W. Daniel that it will not be possible for him to promote Colonel Junius Levert Powell. He has spoken with the Military Affairs Committee, and six other surgeons with better records and longer service than Powell have not been able to retire as brigadier general, so Roosevelt does not think Powell’s promotion would be confirmed.
