musich 3-B August 15, 1949 Dear Mr. Cobb: The President has given me your letter of August third, and in looking over Mr. Gott's letter which you enclosed, I find that the posi- tion in which he is interested is not one that I can do anything about helping him to obtain. It is a matter of patronage that has been re- 300-A served to the Congressmen and Senators and these jobs are filled on the recommendation of the Congressman of the district. Such being the case, I would suggest that Mr. Gott get in touch with Honorable George H. Christopher. With best vishes, Very sincerely yours, ARCHIVED RECORDS SERVICE* DONALD S. DAWSON Administrative Assistant to the President Mr. John B. Cobb 2715 South Grysler Independence Missouri ddb
