Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Isidor Rayner

President Roosevelt provides Maryland Senator Rayner with facts and reports pertaining to the unfitness and misconduct of Colonel William F. Stewart, who seeks to retire as a Brigadier General, and whom Isidor feels has been unfairly punished with a bad posting. Given Stewart’s record and reports of his conduct toward civilians, subordinates, and superiors, Roosevelt stands by the decision that has been made and is unwilling to open a court of inquiry into the matter.
