James Sullivan Clarkson writes to President Roosevelt on behalf of a Corporal Tanner, who seeks placement in Liverpool, England in lieu of Canadian placements in Quebec, Halifax, or Nova Scotia. Clarkson quotes Tanner’s plea to serve in England over the Consul at Liverpool. Tanner asserts that since he is a paraplegic, he would be of more use in Liverpool, while Canadian James Boyle is more suited to placements in Canada.
