WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON. January 9, 1904. Personal. My dear Secretary Hitchcock: I have your letter of January 7th, which I have shown to Senator Quay. He says that the difficulty is not met by the failure to give any hearing at present. At the earnest request of the Delawares he desires to be present at the hearing, at which the Delawares (and if possible the Cherokees) shall be represented and the whole case gone into. I have agreed with Senator Quay that there shall be a hearing a week from Monday next at 2:30 p .m. Senator Quay will notify the Delawares. I hope you will put your- self in communication with him and kindly arrange to be present yourself with any of your officials whom you think necessary, including especially Commissioner Jones. I will then go thoroughly into this segregation business. Sincerely yours, Jheodore Rosevels Hon. E. A. Hitchcock, Secretary of the Interior.
