| Transcript | 1 - 29/07 My Dear Mother I am just waiting to see Mr Garfield the [Head?] of this Bureau, and take this time to drop you a line. Have been in a big fight for one of the leases made to the [-------?] Co & also to kill a lease others are trying to get through on some land belonging to Mr Bishop of Lawrence & myself. Senator Curtis of Ks [Kansas?] goes with me tomorrow to go over matters with the Comm. [Commission?] of Ind [Indian?] Affairs He is a very nice fellow & will make a good Senator I am sure. Met Senator Long yesterday and he arranged a meeting for me with Mr Garfield to go over matters relating to the Ind Ter [Indian Territory?] Am stopping at the Hamilton Hotel a very pleasant place the guests are nearly all Senators or Congressmen and their families. Senator Frye & family of Maine have the table to which I was assigned so we eat together three times daily. They are very pleasant people and you can see I am in good company. I wish you were here to see what a pretty city Wash. [Washington, D.C.?] is. I now hope to get away from here tomorrow night I got here last wed [Wednesday?] night. Have been so busy that I have not gone anywhere except on business. Sunday I went to the Dutch Reformed Church and sat across the aisle from President Roosevelt & heard an excellent sermon. It is a very plain little church about half as large as Plymouth but there was no pomp or show about the attendance of the president if one had not known who it [w?]as, one would not have [s?]uspected he was present. [w?]ith much love to yourself [?]ey Henry & the girls from Your loving son John |
