President Roosevelt sends Secretary of War Taft some correspondence which explains itself. Roosevelt and Taft will need to speak about Governor-General Luke E. Wright’s proposed bill for the Philippines, as well as Archbishop J. J. Harty’s objections to it. While Roosevelt admits he does “not think much of the Aglipayans,” and thinks “a great deal of Harty,” he wishes to be careful to do justice.
