Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hugh S. Thompson
President Roosevelt apologizes, but he does not believe there is much he can do to help Hugh S. Thompson find a position in New York. Because of the actions of Thompson’s father, Hugh Smith Thompson, and Roosevelt as members of the Civil Service Commission, the number of positions that Roosevelt is able to make appointments to is not very large. Unless Thompson knows of an opening, Roosevelt has no means of finding out about likely positions.
