Partly-printed DS, signed “T. Roosevelt,” one page, 8 x 10, August 15, 1893. Document to the Board of Examiners in Delaware, Ohio, about recording results of civil service examinations and listing those eligible for appointment. In part: “The papers of the examination held by your board on June 17 have been sent to you to-day under separate cover with a record of applications and examinations and a register of eligibles in which the proper entries have been made. For future examinations you will make similar entries in these books, noting that when eligibles result from succeeding examinations and any eligibles are still on the old lists new lists should be made for the respective grades to include both the names of those recently found eligible and the names of those from the old lists whose eligibility has not expired, or who have not been selected for appointment, or who have not been certified three times or had their examinations canceled, the names to be entered in the order of averages…Your post office having become a classified office on June 17, 1893, the date of the examination held thereat, all appointments to classified non-excepted positions therein must be made from certifications from your eligible rosters. The date of registration has been entered as August 17, 1893.” An earlier related letter from the U.S. Civil Service Commission is affixed to the reverse and reads: “Replying to your inquiry of July 20th, the Commission has to say that the choice of a room in which to conduct the examination of August 5th is left to your board. If a room in the post office is available for the purpose that will be perfectly satisfactory to the Commission.” In very good condition, with scattered light creases and wrinkles, mainly from adhesive on reverse, a uniform shade of moderate toning, and a few small spots and office notations.
