President Roosevelt encloses letters regarding Mrs. Cooper’s case and asks if she has done good work. If so, he plans on requesting that Cooper be continued. A note on the verso reveals that an examination found Cooper’s work to be “highly satisfactory” and that her position was exempted from the civil service law and made permanent.
