Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Robert Procter
President Roosevelt wants it understood that positions in the White House, such as telegrapher and clerk, must be treated as special due to the confidential nature of the work. Great damage can be done by men in these positions, such as the recent unauthorized publication of War Department documents. Roosevelt is also distressed by the civil service reformers and their support for Mrs. Taylor’s suit. The suit is making it difficult to remove “recalcitrant clerks” and Roosevelt fears that this is damaging public service.
