Republican National Committee Chairman Cortelyou acknowledges receiving the letter from Elisha Ely Garrison. If Cortelyou were to continue as Chairman, he would expect the Committee might purchase copies of Garrison’s book for circulation as it did in the past; but since Cortelyou does not intend to continue, he cannot bind his successor to make such a purchase. Cortelyou then notes, in his capacity as Postmaster General, that no charges have been filed against the postmaster in Christmas, Arizona, mentioned by Garrison, but he will give the case full consideration if charges should be filed.
