Letter from W. Minter Wimberly to Theodore Roosevelt
W. Minter Wimerbly defends Postmaster Harry Stillwell Edwards against the accusation of not paying his debts. Wimberly, who has represented Edwards in legal matters for many years and has become his friend, relates how Edwards came to be in debt and the great efforts he has made to pay off his indebtedness. Both Wimberly and his partner have advised Edwards to seek relief by filing for bankruptcy, but Edwards has declined, committing to pay his debts as he is able. Wimberly believes the accusation against Edwards is unjust and slanderous.
