Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to W. Sloan Simpson

President Roosevelt tells W. Sloan Simpson that there is no chance of Howze being appointed brigadier general. The Senate Committee has notified Roosevelt that they will not confirm people below the rank of colonel as brigadier generals. Furthermore, Roosevelt believes he has already done more for Howze than for any other officer in the service. He hopes the push for Howze to be made a brigadier general is not coming from Howze himself, as Roosevelt does not like that sort of self-serving action.
