President Roosevelt thanks Eugene W. F. ReQua for the letter, and asks for the name of the government land inspector that ReQua mentioned, as he wishes to write to him privately and get all the facts. Roosevelt admits that he knows “how very much wickedness there has been in the Indian and public land work in the past,” but believes that the government is making progress in eliminating crookedness.
