Ethan Allen Hitchcock concurs with Charles Nagel’s opinion that charges against Postmaster F. W. Baumhoff are due to conspiracy and agrees that, should President Roosevelt replace Baumhoff, Frank Wyman is a worthy candidate. Hitchcock opposes Richard Bartholdt’s support for William Wilson Sterrett’s appointment and includes an excerpt from a telegram received from John Whittaker. Hitchcock encloses a letter from Mr. Parsons, “private.”
