President Roosevelt updates Walter C. Witherbee on the status of Witherbee’s resignation. Roosevelt had previously told Witherbee that he would accept the resignation on the qualification of his successor, but now there has been a slight complication. Roosevelt has decided to put Witherbee’s deputy, Frank H. Clough, in charge, and instructs Witherbee to turn the office over to Clough on February 15.
