Letter from Denis J. Dougherty to Theodore Roosevelt

Bishop Dougherty thanks President Roosevelt for returning control of the Seminary, which is currently occupied by troops, to the Catholic Church. Dougherty believes that if the former property of the Catholic Church, now in the hands of Bishop Gregorio Aglípay y Labayán of the independent Christian church, was returned, it would greatly contribute to the pacification of the islands.
