President Roosevelt received Secretary of the Treasury Shaw’s letter concerning diamond appraiser General George Washington Mindil. While he finds it “distressing” to take such action against Mindil, Roosevelt sees no alternative. He prefers that someone from Representative Charles N. Fowler’s office, the Committee on Banking and Currency, fill the vacancy.
