War veteran seeks postmaster relief and retention
A Civil War veteran injured in service is described as unfit for manual labor yet fully capable of performing his current duties as a postmaster. A letter from Rev. E. E. Cleland supports the claim, urging an executive order to allow the veteran to keep his fourth class postmaster position and secure his modest compensation. The writer criticizes civil service changes and notes the veteran’s need as a matter of gratitude to those who defended the nation.
