George Bird Grinnell writes to Theodore Roosevelt to propose a new position of Field Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He believes that such a person, visiting the Indian agencies and making recommendations both to the agents in the field and back to the Indian Bureau in Washington, would improve conditions greatly. He discusses the qualifications of Mr. Mead, who has written a paper on the Mojave Apaches, for such a position.
