Governor Roosevelt addresses General Johnson’s inquiry regarding fraud and the canals of New York, and defends himself of criticism he has received by Democrats and for his association with Senator Thomas Collier Platt. Roosevelt feels that his previous two years of public service speak for themselves, but that he is unsure of his political future other than the only position he absolutely does not desire is the Vice Presidency. Lastly, Roosevelt comments on the Boer War and the British handling of the situation.
