President Roosevelt tells John H. Adams that he nominated Erastus J. Parsons for District Attorney based on seemingly excellent recommendations about his standing as a lawyer. Alabama Governor William Dorsey Jelks has endorsed him, half of the Alabama delegation in Congress supports him, but the other half opposes him. Roosevelt is unsure whom to ask for advice in this situation.
