President Roosevelt thanks Cornelius Newton Bliss for the letters sharing his views on politicians to be appointed or reappointed to positions in New York. Roosevelt feels that Bliss is right about Internal Revenue Collector Charles H. Treat and United States Marshal William Henkel. He asks Bliss to tell Henkel, however, that he must work with F. Norton Goddard, and not against him. Roosevelt has not made up his mind about Wilbur Fisk Wakeman yet.
