Dear Mr. President
Ex Governor James F. Fielder of Jersey City, New Jersey, is obliged to resign from the position of Federal Food Administrator for the State, owing to the great pressure of his personal affairs upon his time.
After careful consideration, I wish to recommend, as Mr. Fielder’s successor, Mr. William S. Tyler, of Plainfield, New Jersey.Mr. Tyler is strongly endorsed by Mr. HW Jeffers and Mr. Alva Agee, both of the State Board of Agriculture; he is also thought very highly of by Senator JS Frelinghuysen and other leading citizens of the State. He has been active in war work in the city of Plainfield for some time, and with his brother has run a very large dairy farm, largely in a charitable way. He is, however, willing to give all his time - as a volunteer - to war work, although, besides these activities I have enumerated, he actively practises law in New York City.
Faithfully yours,
Herbert Hoover
