Theodore Roosevelt read Senator Thomas Collier Platt’s autobiography, which Louis J. Lang sent with interest. He believes Platt meant to be accurate and has no quarrel with his critiques of his conduct as Governor. However, he corrects several erroneous statements, especially regarding Platt’s involvement with his nomination for the Vice-Presidency and appointment to Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
