Eugene A. Philbin received William Loeb’s letter and has read the enclosed letters from Father John Ireland and Colonel Clarence Ransom Edwards. He believes the matter of the Filipino students has been handled satisfactorily. The blunder of William A. Sutherland has been a good thing, providing President Roosevelt an opportunity to show his desire to be just and fair. The Daily News is calling for intervention into the case of children abducted from Catholic sisters in Arizona, but Roosevelt has already taken action. Philbin has received more letters regarding the Friar Lands Question which contain facts that should be brought to the attention of Roosevelt, but this should wait until after the election. Thomas A. Dwyer, a religious charlatan, is claiming he interviewed Roosevelt and received a favor from him. Philbin believes this is of no concern and mentions it only in passing. He returns the letters from Ireland and Edwards. He leaves tomorrow night for New York.
