President Roosevelt asks Governor Hoggatt of Alaska to look over some enclosed documents. He wonders about the feasibility of creating a hospital at Deering, Alaska, if it is even desirable. Roosevelt believes that control of reindeer should be kept as it currently is, as that would be preferable to doing something that could produce bad results. Roosevelt asks Hoggatt to look into the case of Elsie Oomalok.
