Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Victor Howard Metcalf

President Roosevelt writes to Secretary of the Navy Metcalf regarding the case of Lieutenant-Commander Carl Theodore Vogelgesang. Roosevelt does not support the recommendation that Vogelgesang be court-martialed, nor Metcalf’s recommendation that he should be given a severe reprimand and removed from command of the Presidential Yacht USS Mayflower. After considering the evidence and consulting with various officers, however, Roosevelt believes it would be best if Vogelgesang was removed from command of the Mayflower due to his lack of experience in pilotage, and directs Metcalf to do so.
