Eleanor B. Caldwell has lived in the Philippines for many years, and has written a satirical play about the Filipino’s “ill capacity for self-government.” She wishes to dedicate it to Theodore Roosevelt, and therefore sends him a copy. Caldwell also hopes that after reading the play Roosevelt might be able to send it to Charles Scribner’s Sons, as she hopes to have it published.
