Martinez, Nov. 28. 1901 30 Mr Geo. W. Stewart Pres Mt Whitney Club. Dear Sir I am very sorry that lack of personal
knowledge of the matter referred to in Congressman Needham's telegram to you Nov. 21st makes me useless as a giver of the
reasons for the retention of Captain Andrews which the President requires. As far as I know all the army officers who have
been detailed as Park Superintendents have done their duty faithfully with admirable results.
