President Roosevelt thanks Richard Lloyd Jones for the letter and “wise and appropriate” articles he sent. Roosevelt began an inquiry into the subject of immigration recently, and tells Jones that “the diversion of the immigrants into proper territories after they reach New York” is largely being considered by Commissioner of Labor Charles Patrick Neill, although Commissioner General of Immigration Frank P. Sargent will consider the matter as well. Roosevelt has sent the articles to both of them for consideration.
