Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Horace Adolphus Taylor
President Roosevelt sends to Acting Secretary of the Treasury Taylor a letter and newspaper clipping that he says explain themselves. If the order referenced is recent, it should be revoked or suspended, and Taylor should explain to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. Armstrong that he should not give any order or decision while Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw is absent. Roosevelt has received complaints about the management of the customs division, and he wants Taylor to supervise everything that is done until Shaw returns.
