Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles Henry Brent

President Roosevelt informs Bishop Brent that he feels it is very undesirable to appoint someone to the position of surgeon general who is close to retirement. For that reason, he does not think he can appoint John Van Rensslaer Hoff. If Roosevelt bent the rules in this regard for Hoff, there would be several other people who would deserve the position first. The army would then have several different surgeon generals serving and retiring in quick succession.
