President Roosevelt sends Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock some communications regarding Arizona Territorial Governor Nathan Oakes Murphy. Roosevelt feels he should be replaced with Alexander O. Brodie. Roosevelt also informs Hitchcock that he has been promised information regarding the unfitness of the man backed to be Secretary (likely Isaac Taft Stoddard), but says that while this is an important matter it does not need to be taken care of at the moment.
