Letter from Harry O. Williard to Francis E. Leupp

Letter from Harry O. Williard to Francis E. Leupp

Captain Williard writes to Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp about an issue that came to his attention recently. Father Anselm Weber notified him that the Indian Rights Association was protesting about Leupp and Superintendent William T. Shelton about their actions against Navajos that resulted in several being killed. Williard explains that he has become involved because he believes that he is responsible for the matter, and he defends the choices he made that resulted in the deaths.

Letter from Eugene A. Philbin to William Loeb

Letter from Eugene A. Philbin to William Loeb

Eugene A. Philbin informs William Loeb that he has heard that a representative from the English government will soon visit President Roosevelt “with a view of obtaining from him an adverse expression of opinion as to the administration of the affairs of the Congo Free State by the Belgium government.” Philbin expresses his opinion that this is a religious matter with which Roosevelt should avoid involvement. He also writes about Consul Edwin J. Sullivan in Turkey, who has attempted to ask Philbin to be a reference in order to secure a Consul post in Dublin, but of whom Philbin does not approve.
