Personal.
My dear Mr. Secretary:
I heartily approve of your letter of the 28th instant
in reference to putting that investigation in charge of
Judge Ryan. Can you not combine with Mr. Ryan an official
from the Department of Justice? Is it not true that the
Department of Justice is in some measure concerned in the
matter? How would it do to consult Mr. Knox in the matter,
and then as soon as you have consulted him act? Judge
Ryan is a first-rate man.
As for the Brosius matter, if he has made any false
charges hold him up to the sharpest condemnation when the
final report is made; but the thing to do now, is as speed-
ammc ctar Bronius me were inverting aling these malters
ily as possible to get at the real facts. can you not
also
long before Sincerely yours,
even knew of their
existence.
J heodore Roosevelo
Hon. E. A. Hitchcock,
Secretary of the Interior.
