HUBERT WORK, SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
29th United States Secretary of the Interior
In office 1923 - 1928
Handwritten, SignedMessage - from 1923 according to notation
On piece, measuring 3" x 5 1/2"
Written on paper, then, mounted to another thicker piece.
The important, written on side is very fine.
The mounting piece has a large scuffed area, and weakened from it.
I think it would be difficult to separate the pieces.
The letter itself is legible
It reads:
"I suggest to make the same inquiries of Gen'l M. A. Delanney. (sp?)
Commandant Army Field Training School at Carlisle
PA. My advice would be avoid the army. Hubert Work"
I just can't find the exact General's name as yet.
Hubert Work (July 3, 1860 – December 14, 1942) was a U.S. administrator and physician. He served as the U.S. Postmaster General from 1922 until 1923 during the presidency of Warren G. Harding. He served as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior from 1923 until 1928 during the administrations of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge.
Work was active in the Republican Party and served as the Colorado state chairman in 1912. In 1914, Work ran unsuccessfully in a special election for the United States Senate. He was defeated by Democrat Charles S. Thomas, later the governor of Colorado.
Work received 98,728 votes (39 percent) compared to Thomas' 102,037 ballots (40.3 percent). This was Colorado's first Senate election by popular vote under the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. During World War I, Work served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel.
From 1921 to 1922, Work served as the president of the American Medical Association. He was the Colorado delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1920 and was chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1928 to 1929.
Work served as the U.S. Assistant Postmaster General from 1921 to 1922, and as the U.S. Postmaster General from 1922 to 1923 under President Harding. He served as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior from 1923 to 1928, under the administrations of President Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. During Work's tenure as the Secretary of the Interior, American citizenship was formally granted to the Native Americans in the United States. He resigned from the Department of the Interior on July 24, 1928, and was replaced by Roy O. West. He was the first physician to serve in the U.S. Cabinet.
