William Loeb writes the E. Howard Watch Company in New York stating that there seems to be “a misunderstanding” about why Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt recently returned a bill. Loeb notes that Roosevelt “only intended to indicate that the charge for the watch was erroneous,” but that if they forward the bill it will be settled.

General Crozier, the Chief of Ordnance, sends William Loeb a bill for 200 ball cartridges for President Roosevelt to sign. Roosevelt had asked for twenty cartridges to be taken out of the package and given to him, but as the box was already sealed, Crozier decided it would be best to leave it as such, and instead sends Roosevelt twenty cartridges from the Frankford Arsenal. It is more convenient for him to not charge Roosevelt for these rounds, so he delivers them for “experimental use, hoping to ascertain from him the results of trying them upon living animals.”
