President Roosevelt asks Charles Nagel to act as a supervisor or director on behalf of the U.S. government regarding Indian Territory town site suits. Roosevelt notes that William Dudley Foulke’s findings show that Native American people have been largely swindled out of their land; subsequently, the president desires a representative for the government with a positive reputation. Roosevelt tells Nagel he can pick his subordinates who will do the bulk of the work.
