This review is from: The letters of Franklin K. Lane, personal and political

This book, published in 1922, was compiled by the widow of Franklin K. Lane from letters Secretary Lane wrote during his lifetime (born 15 July 1864 near Charlottetown, Price Edward Island, Canada, died at Rochester, Minn. May 18, 1921). What this amounts to is that if Lane wrote a letter telling of important things in his life it is in this book, but if he wrote no such letter it is not in the book. Yet all in all the book holds one's interest, especially in the letters written in the fianl months of his life. Lane was in Wilson's Cabinet from 1913 till he resigned March 1, 1920, and while he has good things to say about Wilson he also criticizes his failure to accept some mild reservations so the Versailles Treaty would get ratified by the Senate. Lane comes thru as a good man and honest man, who served Wilson and his country well.
