Letter from Russell J. Coles to Theodore Roosevelt
Russell J. Coles tells Theodore Roosevelt his plan for assisting the war effort, since he has not succeeded in getting into the Army or Navy. Coles intends to reduce the high cost of living by increasing the supply of food and leather from sources which are now going to waste. He will identify sharks, rays, or other fish suitable either for eating or for the production of leather. Coles will go to North Carolina to study this question, and he plans to publish an article with his findings. He feels that having a doctorate would lend additional weight to his findings, and he asks Roosevelt if he would be able to help him acquire an honorary degree in order to advance this cause.
