New York Lieutenant Governor-Elect White tells President Roosevelt that he will take his role and the work it entails seriously. In particular, he is interested in work on the barge canal and good roads development, which he believes have been mismanaged. White and his wife would like to visit Roosevelt and his wife in Washington at the beginning of the new year. He celebrates the result of the election, and believes that many in the New York state Republican organization deserve praise for their roles.
