THEODORE ROOSEVELT. ASSISTANT SECRETARY. NAVY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON. January 18, 1898. My dear Mr.Peary: That's first rate. I shall give the en- dorsement exactly along the lines you indicate. I shall try to get an endorsement from the President. He is, however, very much bothered by the Cuban situation, as we all are and I may have some difficulty in seeing him. Still, I think I shall succeed. I shall also try to get a chance to write the article you suggest, through some magazine or paper. Continue to let me know any point where you think I can be of use to you. Very sincerely yours, Theodore Roosway
