Archbishop Ireland writes on behalf of Confederate General James Longstreet who is depressed that the appropriations bill “carries no item for the maintenance of his bureau.” Although Ireland does not claim “to urge anything” upon President Roosevelt, he recommends that if something is done, it should be done before the bill is voted upon by the Senate.
