Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge writes to President Roosevelt about Assistant Postmaster General Robert John Wynne’s political troubles. After speaking with Postmaster General Henry C. Payne, Lodge knows for certain that “Wynne’s one idea was to get on the best terms with the P.M.G.,” and the important figure in the investigation of the scandals is Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Joseph L. Bristow. Lodge likes Payne but believes that his judgment is wrong. Lodge does not want to see Wynne removed from office and fears the press will misinterpret the action if he is removed.
