Dear Bob: This morning I was visited by Mrs. Jessie Sayler, Collector of Customs at Savannah.1 Her current appointment expires early next year and she came to see me to state that she was a candidate for reappointment. I informed her that changes of this kind were rarely made except for some evidence of inefficiency or other failure in office and that consequently, if her record of efficiency so justified, I felt sure she would be reappointed.
At your convenience, would you let me have some indication as to the Department's opinion of her competence in her post?2 As ever
