In reply to a letter from William Loeb, Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock writes to President Roosevelt regarding banker Cassius Marcellus Cade’s case. Hitchcock reports that Cade has no experience that would qualify him to serve as register in a land office and that Cade has indicated he would resign immediately if he were appointed. Hitchcock also suggests that any nominations put forth by Governor Frank C. Frantz and Bird S. McGuire be postponed due to a situation in Oklahoma that requires investigation.
