President Roosevelt forwards S. M. Barrett a letter from Scribners‘, which is similar to one he received from Century as well. He is sorry that the publishing houses do not seem to be interested in Barrett’s translation of Geronimo’s autobiography, and relays a suggestion from Commissioner of Indian Affairs Frances E. Leupp that if the book were published, that Geronimo himself could sell copies to the visitors who come to see him. Century has not returned Barrett’s manuscript yet, but Roosevelt has written to ask that they do so, and will forward it to Barrett as soon as he has it.
