WHITE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON
November 15, 1901.
My dear Sir:
The President is of the opinion that there should
be a Catholic on the Board of Indian Commissioners.
He knows Archbishop Kane well; he is now in the west,
at Dubuque, Iowa. The President thinks well of him
and wishes to ask whether in your opinion he would
not be a good man for this Board. The President
understands that there is a Methodist bishop on the
Board now (Bishop Walker), and also a doctor of di-
vinity.
While the President doubts the propriety of hav-
ing a large number of clergymen on such a board, he
thinks that as there are clergymen already connected
with it, it would seem to be fair to add a Catholic.
Very truly yours,
Secretary to the President.
Hon. E. A. Hitchcock,
Secretary of the Interior.
