Dear Boy Letters on Philippines War and Democracy
A fragmentary letter argues U S actions in the Philippines defend liberty and order, denying brutality by soldiers and praising American democracy. It cites Aguinaldo, Tagalogs and other groups, discusses treaties, Filipino tribes, and race. It contrasts peaceful progress with war, and ends with a note on readers asking what a tornado is and a Bryan quotation.
