Letter from William E. Chandler to Theodore Roosevelt
Senator Chandler agrees with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt on acquiring the guns for the United States’ commercial ships and torpedo boats and that deciding on a general policy about the Navy’s size before building any additional large ships would be wise. Chandler wants to find some way to force Andrew Carnegie and the Bethlehem Iron Company to make plate armor on mutually agreed-upon terms. Roosevelt does not need to say anymore about the “infernal gunboat,” as hopefully it served as a good lesson. He sends a letter from Howell to be read only by Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy John D. Long. Chandler asks when a warship is going to Havana, Cuba.
Comments and Context
The “infernal gunboat” is a reference to an administrative issue with the USS Newport.

Reed praises a letter Roosevelt wrote to the “Goo Goo’s,” a nickname given to Progressive reformers who were in support of good government.

Letter from George Washington to John Quincy Adams with annotation by Worthington Chauncey Ford
In a portion of a letter, excerpted in Worthing Chauncey Ford’s Writings of George Washington, George Washington tells John Adams that he had read about a sword from an unknown Dutch maker that was intended for him, but pawned in Alexandria. He asks Adams, who is serving as a minister in Holland, to find out what he can about the sword. An annotation from Ford says that the sword was made by Theophilus Alte. Alte sent his son to give the sword to Washington, but the son sold it at a tavern and disappeared. The sword is currently in the possession of Alice Lawrason Riggs.
