President Roosevelt tells William R. Willcox that Rough Rider Thaddeus Higgins was good at paperwork and camp work, but did not show leadership qualities in battle. He adds that following the Spanish-American War, Higgins has made ludicrous claims regarding his bravery in action. In spite of this, Roosevelt says that Higgins was a good soldier, though he would be better in a clerical position than in one that depended upon his individual initiative or physical abilities.

The Ross Rifle Company sold three .280 high velocity rifles to Rough Rider Reginald Ronalds. The company has changed the dimensions of the .280’s cartridges and would like to recall their rifles in order to adjust them appropriately. Because Ronalds in turn gave one of the rifles to President Roosevelt, the company would like him to mail the rifle to them so they can adjust it for free.
