President Roosevelt confirms receipt of Senator Platt’s letter regarding the New York appraisership. Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw has asked for some time before making the appointment as he wishes to make sure that the correct person is appointed. Roosevelt has heard good things about George W. Wanmaker, who has done well as deputy appraiser, but does not know if he has the special qualifications for the office.
