Charles H. Brent expresses thanks for Theodore Roosevelt’s letter that showed appreciation for his article responding to Foreman and Archbishop John Ireland. Brent is looking forward to Secretary of War William H. Taft’s visit to the Philippines. He expresses concern that the results of the visit by Taft’s commission will not be beneficial, and will cause discord in the Philippines. Brent compliments the commissioner as “a strong man,” but adds that there is concern that he is “overtaxing his strength.” He adds that the Atlantic Monthly wants to publish the second half of his article only. The North American Review will publish it in its entirety in August.
