Attorney General Bonaparte tells President Roosevelt that their plan about John Carter Rose seems to be impractical. Rose was flattered by the offer, but thought he could not accept because of the lesser salary, even after further discussions. Bonaparte thinks he needs some time to reflect before he can suggest another person. He also comments about several vacancies and possible appointments, and advises Roosevelt about these matters.
