George B. Cortelyou responds to an inquiry about Thomas E. O’Shea, who at one time desired a position at Republican headquarters, but later was understood to have given up that request and simply wanted the staff to publish “the tariff book.” Cortelyou also notes that O’Shea has made and lost large sums on Wall Street, and that there are some positions to which he would not appoint him, not believing him to be entirely trustworthy.
