Senator Platt is “surprised and somewhat disturbed” by President Roosevelt’s letter of November 23, 1904, concerning the chairmanship of the Erie County Republican Committee. Platt feels that Roosevelt is deserting him “right at the crisis of affairs here when I have the situation well in hand.” Platt favors William Olcott while Roosevelt suggests a “high class man” along the likes of Mr. Parsons or Mr. Davis.
