Letter from Paul A. Zuber to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Diplomatic and consular service, American, Switzerland

Paul A. Zuber asks Theodore Roosevelt how to get the consulate position in Bale, Switzerland. The Consul is too ill to attend to business, and the Vice Consul is an old Swiss man. Zuber suggests that he be appointed future consul and, in the meantime, provide aid to the current consul. He is an ideal candidate as he is a Swiss citizen and naturalized American who knows multiple languages.
