Writes of Creel: "He can only find inconsistencies precisely as he can find them in the writings of Washington or Lincoln- that is, an occasional honest and necessary change of mind and ...circumstances which necessitated a change on my part, precisely as Lincoln's attitude toward emancipation changed in 1861 as compared to 1858 and in 1863 as compared to 1861." With insertions and corrections in Roosevelt's hand. Some water damage to inks.
