The Presidential Office Staff summarizes a letter from Justice John Thomas McDonough of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. McDonough was surprised to read the rumors that he was “antagonizing the Commissioners,” especially because he has a good opinion of Governor William H. Taft. He will be pleased for Secretary of War Elihu Root and Archbishop John Ireland read his letter. He also requests transportation to the United States for himself and his family.
