Postmaster General Payne informs President Roosevelt that he has provided a copy of a letter from George E. Green to Assistant Postmaster General Joseph L. Bristow. Payne has also prepared copies for investigators Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad, but he notes that Bonaparte and Conrad are away on vacation, and they will surely wish to devote sufficient time to reviewing the relevant documents, thereby delaying their report. Unless instructed otherwise, however, Payne will ensure they receive the letter on their return.
