Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John McElroy
President Roosevelt assures John McElroy that the demotion of Newton May Brooks, superintendent of foreign mails with the Post Office, was only done after a thorough investigation and careful consideration. In the end, Postmaster General George von Lengerke Meyer was forced to reduce him in favor of a younger, more energetic man for the good of the postal service.
