-2- Wm. E. Colby. Persistent rumors I notice are being published in the newspapers concerning the resignation of the Secretary
of the Interior, and we Should get as many letters as possible from members of our club and from all we can influence to write
endorsing his administration and encouraging him in every way to stand up bravely to his work, paying no attention whatever
to the cowardly attacks of disappointed muck-rakers, and the few good people who have been misled by the press. Faithfully
yours. illegible To William E. Colby. 302 Mills Bldg., San Francisco, California.
