John W. McGrath, secretary to Theodore Roosevelt, points out the chapter of the Autobiography in which Roosevelt asserted that the incompetency of the War Department was due to lack of adequate preparation. Roosevelt knows nothing about the resignation of a member of the Cabinet or refusal of a Cabinet member to accept a re-appointment, which was asserted by the recipient of the letter. To make R. A. Alger a scapegoat was in the opinion of Roosevelt an injustice.
