Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte writes to President Roosevelt regarding the court martial for Lucien Young and a further charge against Charles Wade. So as not to jeopardize the court case, Bonaparte has excerpted material from a report sent to the press. Commenting on the rumor that he would be campaigning in Philadelphia, he attributes it to an incident of some time ago in which a reporter construed general comments made in an interview by Bonaparte to appear as if Bonaparte were talking about Philadelphia. Bonaparte again discusses the transition in the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He will have reports on the ships and submarines as requested by Roosevelt soon. Finally, he congratulates Roosevelt on the peace agreement between Japan and Russia.
