Hodges, James L. (James Luther), -1906

President Roosevelt will allow Frank W. Howbert to stay in his position, but will remove Henry Brady and James L. Hodges sometime after the New Year. Roosevelt has official reports to support his removal of Brady and Hodges, but they are Secret Service documents so they cannot be released. Roosevelt asks Philip Battell Stewart for advice in asking Senator Edward Oliver Wolcott for recommendations on successors for Brady and Hodges. Roosevelt also sends Stewart two disparaging letters about the surveyor-general’s office and asks if Kent or Earl M. Cranston could clarify the matter.
