President Roosevelt sends Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock copies of the text of several letters concerning grants of land and oil and gas leases held by Richard C. Adams. He tells Hitchcock that it would be unfair to deprive Adams of privileges he had been assured of by one of these earlier letters, allowing him to lease 9600 acres rather than the usual 4800 acres, and therefore directs that newly amended regulations not apply to Adams’s leases.
