OCTOBER · 1908 that this man Downing is a deadly enemy to Liberia, in my opinion, and I think it is through him that many of these reports get scattered. He wrote me a long letter sometime ago in which he made the most damaging statements concerning yourself and fellow Envoys. I paid no attention to the letter, and did not even answer it. He begged me in the letter to put his view of the case before President Roosevelt. Of course, I refused to do it. I am only making this statement in order to emphasize the necessity of watching this man, as he would not hesitate, in my opinion, to do anything that would denationalize Liberia. I shall be writing you again soon. Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington P.S. I have just written for an engagement with the Secretary of State for October lath, when I shall take up the matter fully relative to Liberia. Of course, I will write you as soon as I have done so.
