Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt concedes to Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte to continue the trial.

In a postscript, Roosevelt agrees to appoint Rear Admiral Eustace Barron Rogers as Paymaster General. Additionally, he declares the men turned down due to “defective hearing” cannot be accepted to the Naval Academy.
