President Roosevelt assures Charles M. Hough that if he decides to pursue Hough’s appointment as a judge, he will use the knowledge of the letter between Frank Hinchman Platt and Senator Thomas Collier Platt. Roosevelt is not sure what he will do yet, because while he has heard many good things about Hough, he is somewhat uncomfortable about the effect Hough’s connections with the Pennsylvania Railroad may have on public opinion.
