William Davenport Hulbert sent Abbott a rough draft of his article on Clarence Cunningham’s Alaskan land claims. If it comes to him, Hulbert asks Theodore Roosevelt to critique it. Additionally, Hulbert requests Roosevelt show it to anyone involved in Alaskan affairs. B. D. Townsend, a special assistant with the Department of Justice, approved the article after discussing the issue with Hulbert. Hulbert includes a passage he is considering adding regarding the controversy between then Secretary of the Interior Richard Achilles Ballinger and Chief Forrester Gifford Pinchot.
