Attorney Charles J. Bonaparte addresses the legal investigation into the actions of Baltimore Postal Service employees. Bonaparte writes of his correspondence with Holmes Conrad and Charles Emory Smith and discusses the Bristow Report, John A. Merritt’s charges against Seymour Wilcox Tulloch, and the case of Comptroller Robert J. Tracewell. Bonaparte also expresses his disappointment regarding the Democratic win in the Maryland election, drawing a comparison to the election of 1899, when Arthur P. Gorman lost to Louis E. McComas.
