After reading over Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp’s report regarding the Choctaw and Chickasaw coal lands, President Roosevelt is “constrained” to agree with him. He wishes that he could feel justified in doing what Cecil Andrew Lyon wanted, but believes that Leupp’s position is “the only sound and proper one.”
