User-Contributed Transcription Gananoque, Ontario, August 20, 1910.Dear Dr. Montezuma:- It was a grievous disappointment to me to be obliged to send out the notice for a postponement of the Conference. Nevertheless my action is in line with your suggestion to "keep up the agitation and finally designate the time." My notice brought word again from Mr. Dagenette who urges holding the Conference in 1911. Mrs. Chas. Eastmen has written twice lately indicating her interest in the Conference. I think we can do better next year than we should have done this year. Let us canvass the situation thoroughly and determine the date which will suit the largest number of people, & then advertise that date long in advance. How would August or September do, before I am buried in my University work?Have you read Leupp's book on the Indian Problem? I have written a review of it for The Dial. I wish you might read the review when it appears. You may think I am too gentle, but Mr. Leupp will probably accuse me of being unfair. He evidently does not believe there are "progressive Indians". Did I not write you of our campaign for playgrounds in Columbus?
