President Roosevelt explains that it is impossible for him to look into “every question of a transfer of this kind” if he wishes to focus on the more important issues at hand. Requests from George E. Matthews are given careful consideration, but Roosevelt must stand by the decision of the head of the bureau or else remove him. He will ask Terence Vincent Powderly for a full explanation regarding the transfer of John R. DeBarry.
