President Roosevelt explains to Senator Culberson his actions regarding Mary William Houston Morrow, daughter of Sam Houston. Roosevelt appointed Morrow as postmistress at Abilene, Texas, in recognition of her father’s accomplishments. When her office was investigated by the post office and it was recommended that she be removed, Roosevelt intervened to give her another chance. After a recent second evaluation, it was determined that Morrow should be removed, and Roosevelt felt that he could no longer do anything to prevent it.
