William Davenport Hulbert thanks Theodore Roosevelt for the letter containing new, interesting, and valuable information on the Alaska situation. He is troubled that his findings have differed from The Outlook’s and has talked to many well-informed men from various perspectives. Hulbert discusses these findings and his opinions of various Alaskan government officials, including Judge James Wickersham and Territorial Governor Wilford B. Hoggatt. He asks Roosevelt’s permission to quote from his letter, especially concerning David Henry Jarvis.
