On behalf of Theodore Roosevelt, his secretary acknowledges receipt of A. L. Woodford’s letter. The information Woodford requested was covered at length in presidential reports and messages at the time. Woodford’s inquiry probably related to the Catholic Church’s ownership of lands in the Philippines and how it was handled, as the secretary references William H. Taft’s service as Governor of the Philippines and Taft’s visit to Rome to discuss the matter.
