Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Allen

President Roosevelt sends Brigadier General James Allen an enclosed letter from Delbert W. Cram relating to a trip into the Arctic Circle proposed by signal corps officer Charles W. H. Heideman to collect botanical specimens. Roosevelt believes that, “if an enlisted man wishes to and can do this kind of work, every bit of encouragement that can be given to him should be given.”

Letter from James Franklin Bell to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from James Franklin Bell to Theodore Roosevelt

General Bell, Army Chief of Staff, updates Theodore Roosevelt on the efforts to find a case that will fit his field glasses. A case is being sent, and Bell hopes that Roosevelt will not pay for it but will accept it as a token of his admiration. Bell also says that he will continue to address Roosevelt as “Mr. President,” because it feels unnatural to call him anything else.
