January 31, 1906.
The Hon. William Loeb, Jr.,
Secretary to the President,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
In compliance with your request of the 30th instant
I have the honor to state as follows:
I am the daughter of the late Captain C. T. Speer U. S. A.,
who served in the Civil War, he was in Libby Prison having nearly
died there with Black Scurvy. I am the only one of my family in
the Government Service.
In the year 1899 my husband failed in business in this city
and went west leaving me with six children (one a cripple) to
take care of without any means of support whatever. I then
appealed to Judge Ryan, at that time Acting Secretary of the Interior
Department, and he, after investigating my case, appointed me on
the laborers roll August 12, 1899, where I served until July 17,
1900 when I was transferred as a copyist on the per diem roll in
the General Land Office where I have been employed ever since
(six and one half years).
I have the honor, therefore, to ask the President if he will
not place me individually, or the per diem roll, in a position
where we will have the advantages of other clerks, as we are doing
the same grade of work done by those drawing from 900 to 1400 per
