Letter from Carl G. Grill to Theodore Roosevelt

Carl G. Grill explains his situation to and asks for help from Theodore Roosevelt: he is a veteran of the Spanish-American War who has been working as a transfer clerk in the railway mail service in Aberdeen, South Dakota, but has moved to Oregon to benefit his wife’s health. Grill was told it was easier to resign and seek reinstatement than to be granted transfer service, so he resigned, but is facing difficulties with getting reinstated. He lists cases of others who have been successful in similar situations and asks for Roosevelt’s assistance.
