President Roosevelt is concerned by Helen Martin’s letter. It is unlikely that before the end of the term there will be an open position to which he can appoint her husband, James Martin, and he has decided that he will not speak to President-elect William H. Taft about appointments. He asks for suggestions as to where he could place Martin.
