Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft
President Roosevelt writes to Secretary of War Taft regarding a complaint from an unknown source concerning allocations of funds for post extensions. A question arose as to why allotments were being appropriated for Fort Meade in South Dakota, Boiso Barracks in Idaho, a fort in Des Moines, Idaho, and a fort in Wyoming, yet no funds were allocated to Fort Lincoln which was designed as a regimental post. President Roosevelt asks for a report to be submitted in order to answer the complaint.
