Douglas Robinson, President Roosevelt’s brother-in-law, writes to him about his old friend and former classmate, William Robinson Blair. When Judge Buffington is promoted to the United States Court of Appeals, Robinson thinks Blair would be a good candidate to fill his vacated position on the United States District Court. Robinson also mentions that many people have been telling him that it might be necessary for Roosevelt to run for reelection in 1908.
