Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John C. Spooner

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John C. Spooner

After receiving Senator Spooner’s telegram, President Roosevelt has discovered that he mixed up Gebhard Willrich and George M. Hotschick and accidentally appointed the wrong man to United States consul in St. John. Willrich has already been appointed, and that cannot be changed. Hotschick was initially appointed to Trieste, but Roosevelt then discovered that there was no vacancy available. Roosevelt is working with Secretary of State Elihu Root to find a place to appoint Hotschick.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John C. Spooner

President Roosevelt will tell Secretary of State Elihu Root that “somehow or other” he will have to find a place in the foreign service for George M. Hotschick. Gebhard Willrich has already been commissioned and cannot properly be removed to install Hotschick in his place as Senator Spooner wishes. Roosevelt will examine Spooner’s recommendations about his message when he returns from his southern trip.
