“Universal testimony” supports Herbert G. Squiers’s exemplary conduct in the siege of the Legation Quarter during the Boxer rebellion. General Wood encloses a letter praising Squiers’s conduct “in case the President should desire any information on this matter.” Wood is interested in the matter because his sister-in-law was in the Legation Quarter during the siege.
