Letter from Robert John Wynne to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Robert John Wynne to Theodore Roosevelt

Consul General to London Wynne discusses with President Roosevelt the impact on his salary of the recent act to reform the consul service. Congress set the salary for the Consul General at London at $12,000, and barred consuls with salaries over $1,000 from accepting other fees. Wynne was formerly collecting income from all sources, including notarial fees, of more than twice the new salary. He will attempt to adjust himself and his family to the new conditions without lowering the dignity of his office.
