Eugene A. Philbin’s letter clears up President Roosevelt’s confusion regarding a sentence from his previous letter. Roosevelt was particularly glad to get a quotation from Bishop William Ambrose Jones. He will take up the matter with Puerto Rico Governor Regis Henri Post and ex-Governor Beekman Winthrop, and will have Post meet with Philbin when he visits. Roosevelt is not sure why Ward did not raise the matter at lunch previously.
