Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt thanks Ira N. Hollis for his letter. Weaver’s letter made Roosevelt indignant. He agrees with Hollis’s plans regarding engineers but thinks he can do more by appearing impartial. Roosevelt asks if he sent Hollis Cooper’s letter, which is just as violent as Weaver’s. He will try his luck with the bill if Secretary of the Navy John Davis Long permits him and inquires who would be a good engineer to help draft it.
