President Roosevelt tells William McAdoo he will not only read McAdoo’s book because he is interested in the subject matter but because McAdoo is the author. Roosevelt says that during McAdoo’s term of service as New York City Police Commissioner, he thought of him “not merely with regard but with sympathy” because he personally knew of many of the difficulties McAdoo encountered, having faced them himself.
