Letter from Constant Williams to Adna Romanza Chaffee

Letter from Constant Williams to Adna Romanza Chaffee

Colonel Constant Williams informs General Adna Chaffee that it will take some time to investigate the charges that Civil Governor James Ross raised about the military in the province of Ambos Camarines in the Philippines, and that his official report will therefore be delayed. Williams nevertheless sends a quick letter to clear up doubts about the attitude of the military towards the civil government. He says that the military has done everything it could to be helpful and cordial towards the civil government, and illustrates this by describing an instance of helping treat a cholera outbreak. He also addresses several charges that Ross brought forward including a recent fire, as well as the killing of a Filipino girl. Williams says that Ross seems to want to pick a fight with the military, but that he will not be drawn into a conflict.

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

George Curry has resigned as governor of the Camarines and is now chief of police in Manila. He is proud that Governor Taft selected him for the position. The situation in the Philippines is “working along very nicely” and the Rough Riders on the islands are doing well. Curry reports that Lieutenant Sweet, the former secret service chief, was arrested for abusing prisoners but will likely get out of trouble. He also mentions that Captain Green, who is with him, wishes to be remembered by Roosevelt and “all of the old boys.”
