William Dinwiddie asks Theodore Roosevelt to look over an open letter by Dean C. Worcester, Secretary of the Interior of the Philippine Islands, which speaks out against “the men who have caused the United States Government thousands of dollars of expense in investigating a mass of allegations, misstatements and deliberate falsehoods, as to the situation in the Philippines.” Dinwiddie provides his impressions of the letter and more broadly of the Philippines, concluding that the islands are sparsely populated with a great deal of land that is ripe for cultivation.
