President Roosevelt had thought that Commissioner of Indian Affairs Francis E. Leupp had answered Bishop Hare’s letter, but, seeing that he has not, attempts to answer Hare’s question himself. The Department of Justice has had a great deal of internal debate about what the law authorized regarding the matter Hare referred to. Funds appear to have been spent by religious bodies, following a mistaken opinion, and while those funds will be paid out until the end of the current month, the way future funds should be spent will be made clearer. This will be the case unless, Roosevelt, the lawsuit started by Samuel M. Brosius changes things.
