WHITE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON
March 9, 1903.
My dear Sir:
By direction of the President I enclose herewith
a copy of a letter from Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis which
explains itself.
The President is much impressed with the advisabil-
ity and propriety of his doing as Mrs. Ellis requests,
unless there is reason to the contrary. Would it not
be possible in your Department to designate some woman --
one of the most trustworthy and most experienced--anc
have it officially known that she is especially the rep-
resentative to whom any woman can go with any complaint
or plea at any time, and that through her when necessary
or advisable such plea or complaint will be laid before
the Secretary?
The President would like you to communicate to him
your views as to the feasibility of this plan, and if
feasible, to state what you have done in carrying it out,
and whom you have designated.
Very truly yours,
Secretary to the President.
Hon E.A.Hitchcock,
Secretary of the Interior.
