Herbert M. Seymour requests Vice President Roosevelt’s help in obtaining an appointment as a special inspector in the Interior Department. Seymour applied two years ago with the help of Representative Aaron V. S. Cochrane of New York. He was told there were no vacancies then, but now there are two new special inspector positions. Seymour and his family are from Columbia County, New York, and worked to elect Roosevelt twice. Seymour asks Roosevelt to pass his application and a recommendation on to Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock. Seymour encloses several letters of recommendation, which he requests be returned to him with Roosevelt’s response.
