Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock agrees with President Roosevelt that certain affidavits should be handed over to Richard Achilles Ballinger, who is about to begin his tenure as Commissioner of the General Land Office. Hitchcock also thinks it wise to give the affidavits to Commissioner of Corporations James Rudolph Garfield, who will replace Hitchcock as Secretary of the Interior in March. Hitchcock hopes he can meet with Garfield in person soon to explain to him more details that cannot be put in writing.
