Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to F. V. Greene

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt believes a war with Spain is always possible. The cool weather means that an expeditionary force, in addition to the navy, would likely be needed. He supposes F. V. Greene would participate and will certainly do so himself in some capacity. Roosevelt wants to go with Greene and proposes raising a regiment with Greene as Colonel and himself as Lieutenant-Colonel, since his military experience is limited to service in the National Guard. He does not see the need for such a plan but wants to plan in advance so he can act quickly should the need arise.
