THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY.
NAVY DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON.
November 1, 1897.
My dear Mr. Peary:
Nansen spoke to me about that Sverdrup
matter. of course he can't be quoted, but he
expressed his bitter and extreme disapproval,
and said that he regretted to the last point
what Sverdrup was doing.
Let me know if there is any way I can help
you, in this Department or otherwise. I be-
lieve matters are now in far better shape to do
anything for you.
Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosech
Civil Engineer R.E.Peary, U.S.N.,
