Willis H. Ropes sends Lyman Abbott two copes of a Salem Evening News article about Rough Rider William A. Mitchell, who is now a chief of police. Abbott should send one to Theodore Roosevelt, and keep another for his reference. Ropes believes it may be interesting for The Outlook to write about Mitchell’s methods.
