Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Davis Long
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is glad that Secretary of the Navy Long favors the Armor Board going south. He tried to explain the situation to the constituents of certain congressmen and outlines a plan to prevent rumors about the Board discriminating against the South. Roosevelt discusses his decisions regarding the USS Newport. In a postscript, Roosevelt expresses the difficulty between not wanting to bother Long with matters he can attend to while not making it appear that he is arrogating power to decide questions he should not.
