Letter from Martin T. McMahon to Theodore Roosevelt
With hostilities on the horizon between the United States and the Moros of the southern Philippines, General McMahon suggests that President Roosevelt send for McMahon’s nephew, Captain John E McMahon, for information on the Moros. Captain McMahon served on the island of Mindanao, the island home of the majority of the Moros. McMahon believes a war with the Muslims would not be a good situation. General McMahon says that Roosevelt should order his nephew to General Randolph for a few days. He also points out that he saw Roosevelt at Columbia.
