The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers diplomatic contingent of which he was dean and received a co~endatory letter from our Secretary of State to that effect. The President of the Republic and all interested in the welfare of Liberia believe that he should be continued here as Minister and that, for the present, alD United States politics should be taken away from this post until Liberia is thoroughly straightened out. If you believe as we do, anything that you may do with the incoming admin~stration looking toward his retention here will be for the welfare of Liberia, and put the President of this Republic under a debt of gratitude to you. ~ am also interested in the appointment of Mr. Bundy and will thank you for any measures you may take in his cause looking toward that end.

Brown (or Browne) of Chicago had served as a first lieutenant in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. When BTW heard that Brown was being considered for a post in Liberia, he wrote to Reed Paige Clarl`: ''I think I ought to say to you in all frankness that Brown is not the lying of man to go to Liberia. He is a bumptious, troublesome, sensitive, foolish fellow, and he would not be in Liberia ten days before he would give you and everybody else concerned all kinds of trouble.'' BTW's prediction seems to have been accurate, but he apparently did not mail the letter, as an unsigned original is in his papers. (Mar.
