- Description:
- The first text is a response from George B. Schwabe, a congressman, to a letter regarding a bill known as the Radcliffe Bill. Schwabe states that he is not very familiar with the bill but will give it serious consideration. He suggests that the bill may be controversial and unlikely to pass quickly due to the current political climate. The second text is a letter from a seaman on a ship, expressing concern about foreign seamen not being able to become American citizens easily. The seaman suggests a law that would allow them the same privileges as those in the army or navy. The seaman requests a response to share with his shipmates.
