President Roosevelt is not sure how to respond to Richard C. Adams, nor does he know what he would say to Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock about the matter. Roosevelt agrees, however, “that the administration only wants to know what the Indians wish and what is best for them, and will do all it can to meet their needs.”
