Letter from Elihu Root to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of War Root apologizes for the criticism directed at President Roosevelt for the form of the order made upon the retirement of General Nelson Appleton Miles. Precedent was followed and the order was exactly the same as others sent to Civil War generals of similar rank and service. Root views Miles as a “bad officer” and not in a class with the great leaders of the Civil War. An order praising Miles would have been full of falsehoods and hypocrisy.
