President Roosevelt forwards to Postmaster General Meyer a letter written by Senator William Joel Stone. Roosevelt characterizes the letter as representing one of the “get-rich-quick concerns” in which Stone is said to have taken part. He reminds Meyer that at one time it was alleged that Stone could have been indicted in connection with the “baking powder legislative bribery charges.” Roosevelt instructs Meyer not to change what his predecessor ordered in the Stone matter without bringing it to Roosevelt’s attention.
