Republican National Committee Chairman Cortelyou returns a letter from Tennessee Representative Walter Preston Brownlow along with William Loeb’s note of December 2, 1904. Cortelyou states that it has been customary to do what Brownlow requested, and without other guidance, continuing the practice might be appropriate. Cortelyou suggests checking with Postmaster General Henry C. Payne whether he knows of any objection to such a plan.
