Jay J. Morrow, Engineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia, writes to William Loeb responding to a letter from President Roosevelt. Roosevelt directed the Board to cooperate with the Executive Departments in their purchasing of office supplies, but Morrow does not believe that Roosevelt has the authority to direct the Board in this way. While the Commissioners of course are willing to accept suggestions from the president, Morrow criticizes the way in which this letter was addressed.
