Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock encloses a confidential letter addressed by him to William A. Richards, Commissioner of the General Land Office, which he think will provide the information President Roosevelt desires. Hitchcock also encloses a copy of a Circular giving instructions to Special Agents under the act of February 25, 1885, instead of the Proclamation Roosevelt had requested. Hitchcock explains that the substitution of the Circular for the Proclamation was a result of a conference had by Governor Richards with both Roosevelt and Hitchcock.
