United States. Auditor for Navy Dept.

On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, his secretary declines Frieda Joerger’s request for Roosevelt to intervene, as he has made it a policy not to interfere in official business. In this case, he will forward her letter and papers to the auditor of the Navy Department in Washington, D.C., asking the auditor to speak with her about the death of her son. That is all Roosevelt can do, and he hopes it will help lead to action by the “moral authorities.”
