There is no vacancy where Captain Barber could be appointed with the rank of major. The first vacancy will be Assistant Chief of the Record and Pension Office on June 10, 1905. If President Roosevelt remains in office he would be pleased to make Barber a major and retire him if he could no longer serve. If Barber can make an arrangement with the current office holder, Major John Tweedale, Roosevelt could make the promotion before his current term ends.
