STATE OF NEW YORK
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
April lath, 1900.
ALBANY
EXCELSIOR
Hon. E. A. Hitchcock,
Secretary,
Department of the Interior,
Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Hitchcock:--
I thank you very much for your two lettors
of the 11th inst,
Now, as to the Charter Commission. I know Mr. Collier
and value him very highly. I am very much afraid, however, that it
will not be possible for me to put him upon the Commission. I have
already pretty nearly made up my list and I have on it now more
lawyers than I desire. The effort to try to get the different
interests represented by thoroughly competent men who shall do more
than to merely represent the different interests, is harder than
you would imagine. I have been at my wits end and for some reasons
I am sorry that I did not have a larger commission as it would
enable me to place some additional men; and yet to represent cer-
tain boroughWand certain interests I am not able to get men whom I
regard as really big enough.
With high regard,
Faithfully yours,
Theodore Roseuels
