Congressman Parsons explains to President Roosevelt that he has written to Civil Service Commissioner Alford Warriner Cooley and expressed that he believes it would be “most unfair” to ask Deputy Surveyor Collin H. Woodward to withdraw at this late date. Parsons does not think Woodward’s leadership is as demoralizing as that of Assistant Postmaster Morgan.
