Letter from Archibald McNichol Stevenson to William Loeb

Archibald McNichol Stevenson believes that D. B. Fairley’s letter to President Roosevelt about the appointment of Joseph W. Milsom as chief melter at the United States mint is evidence of Fairley’s bad faith toward Stevenson. Fairley had agreed to arrange the appointment of Iliff instead, but did not do that. Stevenson believes that no one can disprove the claims he has made about Milsom’s campaign money.

Boyer may leave the mint service

Henry K. Boyer, superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint, may resign. A change in superintendent is often frowned upon as it requires a suspension of business to count the money and inspect machinery. Due to the growing importance of mints it has been suggested that the selection of superintendents become national and not tied to any location.
