29th February 1904.
Hon. B. B. Odell, Jr.,
Executive Chamber,
Albany, N.Y.
My dear Governor Odell:
Please do not do anything about the Port Wardenship until I see you. A serious complication has arisen. I refer to the appointment of Jaquillard to succeed Robert H. Johnson.
Hoping to see you very soon, I beg to remain,
Yours faithfully,
