ROOSEVELT, THEODORE

TYPED LETTER SIGNED ("THEODORE ROOSEVELT") TO CURTIS GUILD, JR., LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, COMMENTING ON CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS IN WHAT WAS THEN THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT 

One page (8 7/8 x 7 1/4 in.; 225 x 183 mm) on a bifolium, fist page on White House, Washington, letterhead, handwritten postscript, 17 June 1903, with engraved portrait; very minor soiling, two areas of mounting residue, previously folded. 

"...nothing whatever in the way of scandals occurred during my two months absence...i have...cut out iniquity which came down to me from previous administrations"

The two-month absence Roosevelt refers to was an excursion to the West in early 1903. He notes during that time there was an ongoing investigation into the corrupt behavior of several previous appointments to the Post Office Department, naming their Presidential appointees as well.
