President Roosevelt trusts Charles C. Burlingham’s judgement, but explains that he not only has to consider Charles M. Hough’s character, but also how the public might view him. While Roosevelt is sure that he would be a good judge, his connection with railroad interests might harm his reputation with the public, as Roosevelt has seen happen with some judges in western states. Roosevelt does not believe he will appoint George W. Alger, but encourages Burlingham to read his articles in the Atlantic Monthly and then get in contact with him, as Roosevelt believes Alger could be of some use.
