Winston Churchill is again writing William Loeb about the matter concerning selecting a new Pension Administrator for New Hampshire. Churchill believes that President Roosevelt’s “enemy” Senator Jacob H. Gallinger has intentionally nominated Richard W. Musgrove as a way to alienate his son Frank Abbott Musgrove, a staunch supporter of Roosevelt. Because of this conflict, Churchill suggests Charles Fairbanks as the ideal Pension Administrator and attaches a letter from Fairbanks for Loeb to forward to Roosevelt.
