Draft of a letter of introduction from Theodore Roosevelt to William J. Calhoun on behalf of Charles P. Stewart, who will be traveling to China on behalf of United Press and the Newspaper Enterprise Association.
Drafted by Gilson Gardner for Theodore Roosevelt to type up and send with Roosevelt’s signature.
Rear Admiral Cowles requests that a representative from the New York Herald be included on the list of correspondents for the movement of the Great White Fleet in light of the newspaper’s scope and history of reporting on the Navy. Cowles notes that Henry S. Brown, an executive of the Herald, is particularly incensed over the inclusion of a correspondent from a newspaper owned by William Randolph Hearst, and intends to meet with William Loeb personally to discuss adding a correspondent from the Herald.
