Marked "Personal" to D-Cady Herrick, a member of the New York Supreme Court, regarding an appointment Herrick would like Cleveland to make. Cleveland remarks: "I have turned the …appointment over and over agan in my mind and I feel that if it were made it would become a source of embarrassment to all of us including the appointee….I suppose…the New York Senators would oppose his confirmation…and we would be accused of doing the things which perpetrated party strife and discord. Can we not find some place in the Collectors or Appraisers office in New York which would serve his purpose…." With original Executive Mansion envelope, postmarked and stamped.
