United States Senate, COMMITTEE ON IMMIGRATION. LE BARON B. COLT, R. I., CHAIRMAN. WILLIAM P. DILLINGHAM, VT. THOMAS STERLING, S. DAK. HIRAM W. JOHNSON, CALIF. HENRY W. KEYES, N. H. FRANK B.

May 8, 1922. Dear Mr. Chesnutt:

I have your letter in re conditions in Haiti. As you may know a Senate Committee has recently visited Haiti and investigated conditions. This Committee has not yet completed and filed its report and it is probable the resolutions you mention can not be passed upon till this Committee completes its work. This matter will have my most careful attention from a viewpoint most friendly to Haitian independence and welfare.

Yours very truly, Frank B. Willis
Mr. Chas. W. Chesnutt, 1105 Williamson Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio.
