Postmaster Seth B. Strong sends Theodore Roosevelt a letter from the City Pastors Association of Houston, Texas. While they are not asking that Roosevelt comment directly on the effort in Houston to close post offices on Sundays, they feel that it is in line with Roosevelt’s previous addresses on ‘Civic Righteousness.’ Strong tells Roosevelt of the pastors’ plans to speak to their congregations on the subject on March 19.
