Dickinson writes to President Roosevelt regarding Indian affairs and argues that the Roman Catholic methods of educating the Indians are much superior to other methods in use. Dickinson was a member of President Cleveland’s Cabinet, and he is now “a man without a party,” but supports Roosevelt and is proud to have voted for him. He offers his aid, if such can be of use to the President without an office or reward of any kind.
