Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Clayton McMichael

President Roosevelt advises Postmaster Clayton McMichael that he must follow the guidelines of the Civil Service Commission when filling vacancies at his post office and cannot refuse to appoint certified men unless he has a justifiable reason to do so. When McMichael recently rejected a large percentage of certified men, it created the appearance of injustice. In the future, McMicheal should keep a record of who was rejected and why so as to avoid suspicion.

Letter from John E. Ballaine to Theodore Roosevelt

John E. Ballaine has established a new town on Resurrection Bay with the goal of opening the Alaskan interior to settlement and development. The town has been named Seward after William H. Seward who, as Secretary of State, negotiated the purchase of Alaska in 1867. The Post Office Department is preventing the post office from being named after Seward as there are already two post offices in Alaska with that name. Ballaine requests President Roosevelt’s help with the matter. In a handwritten note to Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, Roosevelt agrees with Ballaine’s “patriotic sentiments.”
