Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Mabel Thorp Boardman

President Roosevelt has received a number of messages urging disaster relief funds for San Francisco to be given to local committees rather than the National Red Cross. He believes that the course he took at the time was the only possible one, but that now if the regular authorities believe they can do the necessary relief work they should be allowed to do so.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George Bird Grinnell

Theodore Roosevelt tells George Bird Grinnell that the title of General A. W. Greely’s book is Three Years of Arctic Service. Roosevelt agrees with putting the moose head on the cover of the book and if Grinnell gets short of copy, Roosevelt can give him some writing. Another idea if they are short of copy is for Grinnell and Roosevelt to write a composite article on the distribution of “big game animals of temperate North America.”

Telegram from A. W. Greely

General Greely shares General Theodore J. Wint’s report from Colonel Alexander Rodgers. Rodgers has reported that he and Johnson met with the Ute chiefs and are convinced they are acting in “good faith.” They are taking the Indians to Fort Meade and will ask that several chiefs be sent to Washington to present their case, accompanied by Johnson, who has their confidence. Greely approves of Rodgers’ action and believes that another course might have resulted in the murder of many “defenceless settlers.” Greely instructed Wint to hold the Indians as prisoners at Fort Meade until further direction and he concurs with Wint and Rodgers that the chiefs should be permitted to present their case in Washington.
