Letter from B. Storer to Francis Augustus MacNutt

Ambassador Storer tells Francis Augustus MacNutt that the report concerning his Washington club has not reached him nor his wife, Maria Longworth Storer. Mrs. Storer heard of the “manner and reason” of MacNutt’s resignation from the civil service from a “sound authority” who named another authority on the subject when questioned; these were President Roosevelt, then Civil Service Commissioner, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Storer believed the report to have come from Archibald Loudon Snowden or Mr. Griggs.

B. Storer, former Minister to Spain, endeavors to fully and frankly answer Francis Augustus MacNutt’s inquiry. He reports that President Roosevelt, then Civil Service Commissioner, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge communicated the manner and reason for Macnutt’s departure from the diplomatic service in 1892 or 1893. Storer assumed it to be “absolutely sound authority” as Roosevelt and Lodge spoke of it openly and in positives terms. He believes Minister to Spain Archibald Loudon Snowden initially reported on MacNutt’s departure.
