Sketch of the Assistant Secretary of the

From the WGshi10toa Republican, March 49,
The appointment Of Judge Richardson to the
First Assistant SecretaryshIp OF the Treasury is
as good an appointment rs could well be made,

Judge Richardson was born in Tyngsborough,
Mass, in 1921. He was the son OF Hon. Daniel
RiChardon, an eminent lawyer, and most
worthy man, and nephew OF the eminent
Chief Justice William M. Richardson, of New
