The letter argues Platt keeps Woodruff in the Selden to sway President and Senator Hanna against Reot’s candidacy. It suggests Woodruff’s own nomination is unlikely, Roosevelt’s age noted, and Platt might block Roosevelt to forestall the Rooi movement, with Roosevelt and Root portrayed as friends who might still oppose a direct challenge. Roosevelt as vice president could clear the path for Woodruff’s governorship.
