Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John S. Leech

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John S. Leech

President Roosevelt reproves Public Printer Leech for the discrepancy between his words and his actions regarding the emergency hospital in the Government Printing Office. Leech has claimed that he never thought of abandoning the work, yet he has demoted William J. Manning, the doctor who established it, causing his resignation. He also reduced the salary of the remaining doctor. Roosevelt again directs that Leech continue “both the force and the work” of the hospital.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles B. Landis

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles B. Landis

President Roosevelt sends Representative Landis, Chairman of the House Committee on Printing, a copy of a letter that he sent to William Sidney Rossiter, as well as a report to Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Roosevelt believes that these items show that appointing either Rossiter or Henry T. Brian, both of whom Landis recommended, would be unwise. Roosevelt thinks he needs to appoint someone who does not have any connection with the Government Printing Office or any of the investigations.
