Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert M. La Follette
President Roosevelt discusses with Senator La Follette the case of Martin J. Bentley, Indian agent for the Kickapoo nation. It appears that Bentley has not been acting in good faith on behalf of the Kickapoos but instead has persuaded some of them to move to Mexico and become his wards. The Department of the Interior wishes that if Bentley believes himself to be innocent of this charge, he submit to judicial investigation.
