Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Alexander Irvine

President Roosevelt thanks Alexander Irvine for the letter and politely declines Irvine’s recommendation of Frederick Cubberly. Although Roosevelt thinks highly of Cubberly, he believes the incumbent is doing satisfactorily and therefore does not require a replacement. Roosevelt recalls the Russian proverb, “Once in ten years you can help a man,” and apologizes that it is so difficult to find positions to award efficient service.
