New York Superintendent of Public Works Stevens attempts to explain a misunderstanding that has arisen over his having urged that President Roosevelt quickly name a replacement for former Collector of Internal Revenue at Rochester, Archie Dovell Sanders. Sanders’s resignation had been requested several days before Stevens wrote, and it was not therefore Sanders’s removal that Stevens was seeking but the filling of his place. Stevens regrets if he caused Roosevelt any embarrassment.
