President Roosevelt is pleased to hear that Representative Parsons has such a favorable opinion of the nomination of William R. Willcox to the chairmanship of the New York Public Service Commission by Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Naturally Roosevelt will consult with Parsons on the nomination of a new postmaster to replace Willcox. Roosevelt asks Parsons’s opinion of the suggestion by Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou’s suggestion of Assistant Postmaster Edward M. Morgan for the role.
