President Roosevelt tells William R. Willcox that Rough Rider Thaddeus Higgins was good at paperwork and camp work, but did not show leadership qualities in battle. He adds that following the Spanish-American War, Higgins has made ludicrous claims regarding his bravery in action. In spite of this, Roosevelt says that Higgins was a good soldier, though he would be better in a clerical position than in one that depended upon his individual initiative or physical abilities.

Civil Service Commissioner Cooley applauds Postmaster Willcox on how he has applied an Executive Order regarding federal employees’ participation in political activities, in the administration of the New York Post Office. When the Civil Service Commission ruled regarding Collin H. Woodward, it simply expressed that Woodward had not violated Civil Service laws. The Commission has no jurisdiction to determine whether Woodward may have violated the Executive Order, to which Willcox has made reference. Cooley finds Woodward’s candidacy for district leadership to be inappropriate and its effect on the civil service demoralizing.
