Senator Penrose thanks President Roosevelt for the letter regarding the matter of John Dunbar Pringle. Penrose understands that Senator Philander C. Knox has asked Roosevelt to delay the matter a bit, and Penrose remarks that a nomination cannot be sent until after the holidays anyway because of the adjournment of Congress. He will be satisfied with whatever Roosevelt decides, but would like to speak to him one more time before Roosevelt takes action.
