President Roosevelt calls Public Printer Donnelly’s attention to a previous letter of Roosevelt’s, in which he directed that government publications should only be bound in ordinary cloth. This direction has been ignored in connection with the reports of several Cabinet officers. Roosevelt directs Donnelly to investigate the matter, and send him a report about the responsible parties.
