Refusal of Lieutenant Colonel Commission Cited by ADC
In a letter from ADC Will Carey to Major Anderson the Wyoming Regiment offer is declined citing family, business, and logistical sacrifices. He notes prior willingness to serve with Roosevelt and suggests the nation would be better served if others lead while he remains at home. He ends by asking voters to judge a candidate who did not place self above duty.
