Extract from Captain E Ross Smith letter from Luisa Philippine Islands
The letter dated August 26, 1900, from Capt E Ross Smith of the 30th Infantry US Volunteers reports quiet conditions in Luisa with rumors of an uprising, notes an improving command morale, and describes reforms.

He mentions church attendance, health, and a desire to volunteer for China duty, while tangentially noting court cases and legal matters elsewhere.
