Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles A. Culberson

President Roosevelt explains to Senator Culberson his actions regarding Mary William Houston Morrow, daughter of Sam Houston. Roosevelt appointed Morrow as postmistress at Abilene, Texas, in recognition of her father’s accomplishments. When her office was investigated by the post office and it was recommended that she be removed, Roosevelt intervened to give her another chance. After a recent second evaluation, it was determined that Morrow should be removed, and Roosevelt felt that he could no longer do anything to prevent it.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to George von Lengerke Meyer

President Roosevelt urges Postmaster General Meyer not to allow members of his department to name as advisers anyone whom they consult about possible appointees to office. Meyer and others may of course seek advice from whomever they choose, but they should not give the impression that these advisers have a right, in any official capacity, to “distribute offices” in their area.
