Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Mark M. Fagan
President Roosevelt informs Jersey City Mayor Fagan that there had been an investigation into the two men that Fagan mentioned, and the charges were never substantiated. Roosevelt tells Fagan that he cannot get involved in factional fights about appointments, and that if he broke this rule to investigate a particular case, he would be obliged to do so in every case, making it impossible to get actual work done.
