George von Lengerke Meyer was a businessman, legislator, United States
ambassador to Italy and Russia, Postmaster General, and Secretary of the Navy.
Born in Boston on 24 June 1858, he was the son of George Augustus Meyer, a
prosperous German-American East India merchant, and Grace Helen (Parker) Meyer,
a descendant of a prominent New England family. Meyer graduated from Harvard in
1879, one year ahead of his friend Theodore Roosevelt, and three years later
joined his father's firm, Linder & Meyer, Commission Merchants. He entered
Boston politics in 1888 and, running as a Republican, won a spot on the city's
Common Council. He advanced steadily to the Board of Alderman in 1891, was
elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1892, was chosen
Speaker of the House in 1893, and served in that capacity until 1896, when he
retired from the legislature.
As a reward for his party service, President William McKinley appointed
Meyer ambassador to Italy in Dec. 1900. In Rome, Meyer's duties were primarily
ceremonial and social. Still, he struck up meaningful friendships with King
Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany.
When Theodore Roosevelt was elected president in 1901, Meyer had hopes of a
cabinet appointment. Instead, he received the important but unattractive
ambassadorship to Tsarist Russia. Though disappointed, he performed his
diplomatic tasks well in the critical period during and after the
Russo-Japanese War, 1905-1906. As he had done in Italy, the Bostonian won the
Tsar's confidence and was able to present American peace proposals to the
monarch first-hand. In this way, he laid the groundwork for the Treaty of
Portsmouth, which ended the war in the Pacific and won the Nobel Peace Prize
for Roosevelt.
Upon Meyer's return to the United States in 1907, he was given a cabinet
appointment as Postmaster General. During his tenure, he championed parcel post
and the postal savings bank and, in the manner of most of his predecessors,
dispensed political patronage in the form of postmasterships. His political
work greatly aided the presidential nomination of William Howard Taft in
1908.
With Taft's election, Meyer was elevated to Secretary of the Navy, a
prestige post that had been held by a number of Massachusetts men, including
George Bancroft, John Davis Long, and William H. Moody. In the Navy Department,
Meyer proved an able bureaucrat and used his diplomatic ability to establish a
good rapport with the admirals. During his four years in office, he employed
service aides to keep him better informed, instituted improvements in naval
gunnery, ensured that navy yards met the needs of the fleet rather than local
politics, and managed to cut waste in a number of bureaus under his
jurisdiction.
Meyer returned to business in 1913, but remained active in public life. As
World War I raged in Europe, he became an especially ardent advocate of
military preparedness and a harsh critic of what he regarded as the neglectful
policies of his Navy successor, Josephus Daniels of North Carolina. He also
strongly supported the failed candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for the
Republican presidential nomination of 1916. Meyer died on 9 Mar. 1918 of
complications resulting from a tumor of the liver.
The George von Lengerke Meyer papers consist of correspondence, printed
matter, letterbooks, scrapbooks, and other papers primarily documenting Meyer's
career as a businessman, ambassador to Italy and Russia, Postmaster General,
and Secretary of the Navy. Of particular significance is his diplomatic
correspondence from Russia about politics and social conditions there, the rule
of Tsar Nicholas II, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Revolution of 1905; papers
from Meyer's service as U.S. Postmaster General related to his campaigns for
parcel post and postal savings banks; and Navy Department correspondence
concerning the operation of navy yards and naval stations. The collection also
contains political papers related to the Republican Party in Massachusetts and
the nation. Important correspondents include Meyer's wife Marian Alice Appleton
Meyer; his son George von L. Meyer, Jr.; Thomas Jefferson Coolidge; Winthrop
Murray Crane; Frederic C. Dumaine; Curtis Guild; Henry Cabot Lodge; Theodore
Roosevelt; and William Howard Taft.

This series consists of correspondence and other papers documenting Meyer's

also contains a sizable amount of family correspondence. The principal family

1885. Other family members include: Meyer's sisters, Heloise "Helo" Meyer and
Elinor Meyer Frothingham; his son George von L. Meyer, Jr., known as "Bey"; and

Coolidge, Jr. of the Old Colony Trust Company, Frederic C. Dumaine of the

national politics in the Progressive Era.

Taft, and others, Meyer also corresponded with Larz Anderson, Robert Bacon, T.

material on politics and the distribution of postmasterships. Among the most
notable letters are those to and from Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft,
Henry Cabot Lodge, Patrick M. Longan, and others discussing preparations for
the Taft nomination and assessing Republican prospects in various sections of
the country. Included are a few letters from Booker T. Washington, 1908, about

1909-1913
This subseries contains papers from Meyer's tenure as Secretary of the Navy
under Taft. The correspondence is largely bureaucratic, dealing with such
matters as appropriations, shipbuilding contracts, and work done at various
American navy yards (especially Boston, Mass. and Portsmouth, N.H.). Major
correspondents include William Howard Taft, Meyer's Assistant Secretary Beekman
Winthrop, and Admirals William S. Cowles, Charles S. Sperry, William Swift, and
Richard Wainwright. Included are a few political letters to and from Taft,
Henry Cabot Lodge, and Theodore Roosevelt, as well as letters from Roosevelt
about big-game hunting. Because of a serious case of typhoid contracted by
Meyer, the subseries contains few papers related to the pivotal election of
1912, in which Meyer backed Taft over his friend Roosevelt. A few letters
reflect Meyer's dismay over the Roosevelt candidacy.
Among the individual items of importance in this subseries are: a copy of a
lengthy letter from President Taft to his son, Robert A. Taft, in 1911
reporting on political developments; two 1908 letters dealing with Meyer's role
in the return of Eleanor Medill "Cissy" Patterson's daughter, who had been
abducted and brought to Russian Poland by her Polish father; and a 1910 letter
from Meyer to his wife describing an inspection trip to the United States Naval
Base at Guantanamo, Cuba.
