President Roosevelt has found Postmaster General Payne’s friends to be overly sensitive. Roosevelt’s published letter approved of the investigation conducted by Payne and it was unnecessary to also praise Payne for his honesty in the same letter. Roosevelt does not understand the interview with George W. Beavers mentioned by Lucius William Nieman. He was concerned about Payne’s health last summer but believes he has improved.
