President Roosevelt assures Paul V. Bunn that he will help him, if there is some way he properly can. Vacancies at government agencies are not common, however, and this is especially true of government positions that pay well. Roosevelt has never, while president, written a request that could be construed as asking for a favor, but Bunn can show this letter to anyone, and Roosevelt will be happy to endorse Bunn as a man of integrity and skill.
