M. L. Ayers acknowledges Frank Harper’s letter of February 26 stating Theodore Roosevelt’s policy of non-interference with appointments of the new administration. Still, Ayers pleads his case by citing conversations between Roosevelt and Sylvane M. Ferris on June 10, 1908. Ayers also describes the actions already taken by Ferris to resolve the matter himself and the reasons Ferris was unwilling to contact Roosevelt himself. Finally, Ayers restates his offer to pay for Harper to send a cable to Roosevelt.
