Letter from George B. Cortelyou to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of Commerce and Labor Cortelyou has heard nothing but good things about General John Charles Black’s record. Many people say he was the best Commissioner of Pensions in recent years, and the only complaint about him was that he was known as a “physical wreck.” Cortelyou would like to speak with President Roosevelt before he reaches a decision on appointing Black to the Civil Service Commission.
