that will help to rebuild the public school system in New York.
Typed Letter Signed:"Theodore Roosevelt" as member of the
U.S. Civil Service Commission, 1p, 7¾x8¼. Washington, D.C., 1895 March
19. To Hon. Hamilton Fish, Speaker of the Assembly, Albany, N.Y. In
full: "Your courtesy in the past makes me venture to call your attention
to the bill to remodel the public school system of New York. To my mind this is
the most important of the bills affecting the municipal government of New York
which yet remain, and really I can't see myself exactly where the opposition to
it comes in. I earnestly hope you can see your way clear to helping the measure
along." THEODORE ROOSEVELT served as U.S. Civil Service Commissioner
from May 6, 1895-April 19, 1897, resigning to become Police Commissioner of New
York City. HAMILTON FISH served as aN.Y. Assemblyman from
1874-1896, serving as Speaker the last two years. His father and namesake had
been Grant's Secretary of State. In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed
Fish as Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York City, an office he
held until 1908. Fish's son and grandson, both named Hamilton Fish, also served
as New York Congressmen. Lightly stained not near signature. Signature is bold
and clear.
