Charles Fletcher Lummis has not written because he has spent most of the last three months in the New Mexico wilderness. He hopes for the success of the Roosevelt administration and the country under President Roosevelt’s leadership. Lummis believes the two major issues that need to be addressed are the mistreatment of the Boers, who have the widespread support of the American public, and the ongoing Philippine American War.
