Commissioner Francis E. Leupp informs William Loeb about a trader in the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota who has been taking advantage of Native Americans through his trading. Leupp asks Loeb to speak to President Roosevelt informally about the situation, especially because Egbert J. DeBell has spoken to South Dakota Senator Robert J. Gamble. Leupp requests that Roosevelt not interfere, or at the very least, reach out to Leupp for a report. Thus far, Leupp has informed DeBell that his trading license will be revoked in the coming months and has tasked two men, including Charles L. Davis, with looking into the DeBell situation and traders’ accounts in general.
