Valdemar Blad expects to be called to Washington, D.C., to testify in front of Congress about a pamphlet he published regarding the work of the Immigration Commission. Blad previously petitioned Theodore Roosevelt, while President, to investigate charges against his character that he believed to have come from the Commission, but received no response from him or any other government figure. Blad believes the charges to be serious, and wishes to know what Roosevelt did with his petition.
