J. Sloat Fassett justifies John C. Bostelmann’s hiring as a lawyer in the “Alienation Roll” of the Indian Department. Fassett will make sure he signs this letter personally. In the past letters were dictated and left for a secretary to sign, while Fassett was “engaged in the noble work of playing golf.” Fassett holds Frank Higgins in “utter contempt.”
