Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Andrew T. Long

President Roosevelt was glad to receive Commander Long’s interesting letter, and was pleased to read about the Great White Fleet’s visits to Japan and China. Roosevelt says it “is simply extraordinary that there should not have been one instance of trouble with so many thousands of our men ashore.” He promises to bring up the subject of granting sailors leave to visit their homes soon after their return with the Navy Department.
