Letter from Frank W. Carpenter to Clarence Ransom Edwards

Letter from Frank W. Carpenter to Clarence Ransom Edwards

In anticipation of General Edwards’s arrival in Manila, Frank W. Carpenter informs him of the political and economic conditions of the Philippines during American occupation. Carpenter has lived in the Philippines for nine years and has a thorough understanding of the Filipino people. Although many in the United States worry about an insurrection in the Philippines, Carpenter assures Edwards that most Filipinos are peaceful and that public order is in good condition. Carpenter believes that a Nationalist majority in the Assembly would be beneficial to American interests, even though people in the United States think differently.
