Lynch, John C., 1851-1941

President Roosevelt informs Fairfax Henry Wheelan that Collectors of Internal Revenue have an indefinite term, so if Roosevelt wished to get John C. Lynch out of office, he would have to remove him rather than simply not reappoint him. Roosevelt promises to take up the post office matter that Wheelan mentioned, and hopes that something can be done about it, although he does not like interfering in post office contests.
