Letter from Henry C. Payne to Theodore Roosevelt
Postmaster General Payne would like a new rule adopted regarding appointments to unclassified positions in post offices. The rule would require these appointments to be requested and recommended by the local postmaster to the Post Office Department. Previously, members of Congress have been able to request and receive an allowance for a clerk position without the consent or knowledge of the postmaster.
