Governor Roosevelt agrees with Frederick William Holls concerning the regents, noting that they will probably not favor the plan, “no matter how good, if it in any way cuts at them.” James Russell Parsons supports the bill, which Roosevelt will attempt to get passed, with the changes suggested by Nicholas Murray Butler. Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt would like Frederick William Holls and Caroline M. Holls to stay with them when they are in Albany.
