TO W. S. BISSELL[1]

Pocantico Hills, Nov. 28, 1894.

I have just read the civil service part of your official report and cannot refrain from thanking you for it. In whatever detail of official policy our opinions may differ—this is unquestionably the weightiest and bravest utterance that has ever come from the Post-Office Department and cannot fail to do great good. It will be an especial pleasure to me to avail myself of an appropriate opportunity for giving public expression to these sentiments.

  1. Postmaster-General.
