Since speaking with Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, Roosevelt has had several men suggested to him who he thinks may be good fits for the job of appraiser in New York. He is not yet sure that either would be available to take the position. He directs Shaw to continue his own inquiries into candidates, “but make them tentative, so that we will not be committed to any one.”
