President Roosevelt sends Senator Aldrich a copy of his letter to Commissioner of Indian Affairs Francis E. Leupp and his reply. He enjoyed their recent discussion and spoke of it with several men, including Secretary of War Taft, who corrected him about the Philippine sugar schedule. However, he told them that he and Aldrich had not made a definite agreement; rather, the purpose of the conversation was to discuss the potential of a policy that could be generally agreed upon.
