Letter from Frederick William Holls to Theodore Roosevelt

A political battle is unfolding in Yonkers, New York, between various Republican Party factions over the position of postmaster. Frederick William Holls is against the current postmaster, Henry Osterheld, and supports Gustav Schlueter. Holls writes President Roosevelt to point out that the opinion held by Alford Warriner Cooley of Osterheld are erroneous. Holls argues that Osterheld is a party hack who has not handled his job as postmaster effectively over the past four years.
