``The representation of Mrs. Platt as set forth in the accompanying statement is correct, excepting one particular which the President mis-understood, but it does not detract from the merits of the case. She has another son, now in France. Her husband I knew personally as a worthy man whose funeral I attended six years ago, and the family have been residents in this place more than a quarter of a century. D. S. GREGORY
