Representative Fassett thanks William Loeb for sharing his understanding of the New York Governor’s race, and in turn opines that Governor Frank Wayland Higgins may be able to be nominated, but will not be able to win. Fassett does not expect to be in New York, but if he is promises to visit Loeb for an evening. He is sorry to hear of the ill health of Loeb’s son, and offers his advice on how to treat it. Fassett explains his previous inquiry about securing a government position for someone, and how much it would mean for him.
