Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Oswald Garrison Villard
Responding to Oswald Garrison Villard’s letter concerning the promotion of General Leonard Wood, President Roosevelt explains how he and Secretary of War Elihu Root make decisions about promoting men in the Army, arguing that promotions should not be based on seniority alone. To illustrate his point, Roosevelt discusses his plans for the two vacant brigadier general positions.
