President Roosevelt tells Archbishop Blenk that he hopes to keep Beekman Winthop in his position as Governor of Puerto Rico for as long as he will stay, potentially through the entirety of Roosevelt’s presidency. If Winthrop moves on, Roosevelt feels that Puerto Rican Secretary of State Regis Henri Post should be his successor. He asks Blenk to write to him confidentially if Roosevelt’s impression of Post is incorrect.
