Letter from Phillips Lee Goldsborough to Charles J. Bonaparte
Phillips Lee Goldsborough asks Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte if he believes President Roosevelt will permit him to be chairman of William H. Jackson’s congressional campaign even though he is a collector for the Internal Revenue Service. Goldsborough believes he will be granted permission based on a conversation he had with Commissioner John Watson Yerkes in which Yerkes confirmed that Roosevelt had allowed a collector to act as chairman of a state committee.
