About this book
Franklin K. Lane's correspondence brings public business close to the ordinary habits of friendship. Edited by Anne Wintermute Lane and Louise Herrick Wall, this selection follows his work in journalism, law, railroad regulation and the Department of the Interior. The editors describe letters written between appointments, on trains and at home, preserving the quick changes of thought that give the collection its personal voice.
The letters move between affection for old friends and concerns about American political life. In the 1917 selections, Lane praises a church address, recalls a lasting friendship and records Cabinet discussions for his brother George. Those confidential notes turn to Germany's shipping policy and President Wilson's response. Readers interested in American government during wartime can compare the pressures of national office with the warm, informal exchanges that surrounded Lane's working days.
