Letter from William R. Wilcox to William Loeb

William R. Wilcox informs William Loeb that he was unable to speak with Edward M. Morgan regarding the postmastership of New York City due to the illness of one of Morgan’s daughters, and his report to President Roosevelt will therefore be delayed. In the meantime, Wilcox has met with chief postal inspector Walter S. Mayer and Charles W. Dayton, a previous postmaster of New York, and has found nothing that would reflect negatively on Morgan.

Letter from John B. Brownlow to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John B. Brownlow to Theodore Roosevelt

John Bell Brownlow explains to President Roosevelt how he came to be the representative of the Post Office Department on the U.S. Government Board of Management of several expositions. After serving well, Brownlow suddenly learned that then-Postmaster General Henry C. Payne was displeased with his work due to false statements against him. Brownlow was subsequently investigated on his own request to prove the falseness of the statements against him, but while the investigations seem to have vindicated him he has been negatively impacted by being excluded from the Portland board. He asks Roosevelt to consider the matter and review the inspections, which show that his record is clean.
