Letter from James Harrison Wilson to Theodore Roosevelt

James Harrison Wilson recommends the appointment of Robert Houston as collector of the port in Wilmington, Delaware. He believes the appointment of Caleb Churchman would be a mistake as Churchman is not viewed as a leader in the community and his appointment would be seen as an act of “Addicksism.” Wilson argues in favor of balancing the distribution of federal appointments throughout the state as a means to temper the influence of John Edward Addicks.
