Thomas St. John Gaffney writes to President Roosevelt about several enclosed documents that he wrote: campaign articles and a pamphlet about the Irish that John Gardner Coolidge thought was particularly helpful during the campaign. Gaffney also requests consideration for a consular appointment to a European country. Since he is a Catholic who has contacts in the Vatican, Gaffney mentions Belgium, Portugal, or any Catholic European court.
