Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Albert Leopold Mills

Theodore Roosevelt informs Brigadier-General Albert Leopold Mills of the War Department that his friend Roger Derby would like to set up a machine gun battery in North Carolina with Lewis guns, if Mills will allow it. Roosevelt believes that the guns are durable enough to hold up to the task and their use in the North Carolina battery would be a good test of the guns’ durability and usefulness. Roosevelt hopes that Mills and the War Department will allow the guns to go to North Carolina. Roosevelt also invites Mills and his wife to lunch the next time they are in New York.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Albert Leopold Mills

Although President Roosevelt is glad that West Point has accepted the invitation to be a part of the new rules committee on football, he hopes that the new rules committee can be amalgamated with the “old rules committee,” because Annapolis is a member of that committee. Roosevelt strongly supports the preservation of football, and believes it is important that both West Point and Annapolis be a part of the same committee.
