"I am greatly shocked and saddened by the death of your brother, George Washington Ochs Oakes."

"The first necessity of our Government is the maintenance of a navy so efficient and strong that, in conjunction with our army, no enemy may ever invade our country."

"The commanding officers of our forces inform me that we are maintaining that strength and efficiency."
