Letter from Presley Marion Rixey to Theodore Roosevelt

Presley Marion Rixey has just returned from the Naval Training station in Chicago and the tubercular hospital in Colorado, and thanks President Roosevelt for giving the old fort to the Navy for such a purpose. Rixey has planned a one day fox hunt for Roosevelt and his daughter Ethel Roosevelt and hopes Roosevelt will not say no. Rixey asks Roosevelt to intercede in the case of West Point Cadet William J. Nalle, who was suspended from West Point for hazing, but only to do “what you consistently can.” Rixey wishes he could accompany Roosevelt on his upcoming African Safari, but fears he would be a hindrance.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles A. Culberson

President Roosevelt informs Senator Culberson that he is already discussing the expulsion of cadet William J. Nalle from West Point with Secretary of War Luke E. Wright. Roosevelt finds that the case is entirely different from that of midshipman James M. Haralson, who was recently expelled from the Naval Academy. Nalle should be disciplined, but his career should not be ruined over it.
