N. L. Rockey writies to Theodore Roosevelt about his time in India, and encloses something that he believes no one else would send to him pertaining to the matter between Egypt and England. Rockey notes the tendency of the local population to self-identify as Hindus, Muslims etc. rather than Indian, and sees this as a contributor to the current political unrest in the region.
