Letter from Ethan Allen Hitchcock to John F. Shepley

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock believes Judge Henry C. Caldwell to be a man of great legal ability but finds his political views to be on the radical side and his legal opinions erratic. Hitchcock asks his son-in-law John F. Shepley to obtain an opinion on Caldwell from those who know him in St. Louis, Missouri. Is he a man of marked ability, good judgment, and able to conduct a lengthy and laborious investigation, with his conclusions accepted by the country as reliable and fair?
