William Kent regrets that he will not be able to show Theodore Roosevelt the area north of the bay himself while Roosevelt is in California, but he nevertheless invites Roosevelt to visit his house and drive into the woods while he is away. Kent strongly desires Francis J. Heney to be appointed as a United States Senator. He believes the senior senator, Senator George Clement Perkins, will not last long, and that Heney would be an ideal candidate to replace him. Kent suggests that if Roosevelt feels himself able to, that he write to California Governor Hiram Johnson to suggest this to him. The difficulties Heney has experienced following his work in the Oregon Land Fraud trial cause Kent a great deal of regret, and he would like to help him if possible.
