forwarded papers and endorsements
from my state asking that Colonel
James +. Boyd be given a portfolio in
the cabinet, either that OF attorney gen.
eral or secretary OF the interior. Colon

ent and would make an efficient official.
1 see that Mr.. Gary Of Maryland has
been chosen as the southern member Of
the cabinet. / believe that Mr.. Gary will
be perfectly satisfactory TO the south

be in the official family"
