Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hugh Douglas Wise

Theodore Roosevelt tells Hugh Douglas Wise that Wise is on the list of men Roosevelt will have as officers if he is allowed to raise a volunteer division for the war in Europe. Roosevelt names other men he hopes to appoint and notes his preferences for Senior Brigade Commander and Chief of Staff, but notes he is not certain which officers would be colonels and which would be lieutenant-colonels.
