Letter from Leslie M. Shaw to George B. Cortelyou

Subject(s): Gage, Lyman J. (Lyman Judson), 1836-1927, Holls, Frederick William, 1857-1903

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw returns several letters. Mr. Holls’s plan for baggage handling is similar to previous plans and Shaw believes that most criticism is unfounded. He uses an example of a woman’s efforts to retrieve her twenty trunks in New York, who subsequently retrieved them in Washington, D.C., declaring that she had no dutiable goods.
