Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp thanks President Roosevelt for sending the letter from Colonel Brown. Leupp had hoped to appoint Brown to a superintendency before discovering that the law prohibited the appointment of retired officers of Brown’s pay grade. Leupp asks Roosevelt to make inquiries into the matter with the Attorney General and thanks Roosevelt for making similar inquiries regarding the extension of trust patents for Native Americans. Leupp encloses a letter from Reverend Abbott discussing materials pertaining to contracts with Indian parochial schools, as well as a letter from Darwin R. James who has found a candidate for the superintendency of the Indian Warehouse of New York. Leupp has visited and “stirred up” the Winnebago and Klamath Reservations and looks forward to entertaining Roosevelt with an account of his adventures.
