John Watson Yerkes is annoyed that a newspaper article stated he was being consulted on “Southern matters.” Many people are now trying to take advantage of his supposed influence but he is not even being consulted. Yerkes is interested in the position of collector of internal revenue for Georgia and would like to meet with President Roosevelt if there is a change in that position.
