Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James E. Sullivan
President Roosevelt is concerned that the advertisement that James E. Sullivan sent him offers “such large money prizes.” However, Roosevelt reminds Sullivan that enlisted navy men do not share the same physique as amateur collegiate athletes, and he does not want to decide what to do about them. He will ask Admiral Robley D. Evans for his thoughts on the matter.
