Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank S. Butterworth
President Roosevelt tells Frank S. Butterworth that he did not promise that he would not make any change to the position of Collector of Internal Revenue in Connecticut, but that if Butterworth’s description of Robert O. Eaton’s character was accurate, then Roosevelt would not appoint him and would leave W. Frank Kinney in the position. Roosevelt has since received character references from several people attesting to Eaton’s good character.
