William H. Edwards responds to Theodore Roosevelt’s letter concerning Pasquale Maola’s dismissal from the Department of Street Cleaning. Edwards gives the reasons why Maola cannot be reinstated and says how disappointed he is that Maola was part of the recent trouble at the department. Edwards is worried about the welfare of Maola’s family, a wife and 10 children, but Maola rejected Edwards’ attempts to help him find a new job.
