Well, I think the cabinet is, I think it's a little more complicated than people realize. So I think too often historians and others focus on, you know, the bad appointments he made in the cabinet. So that, you know, Albert Fall at the Interior Department, Harry Daugherty at the Justice Department, and then you have Charles Forbes.

It's not really a cabinet office, but Charles Forbes at the Veterans Bureau. So there were these bad appointments. But actually he had a number of great appointments in the cabinet. Charles Evans Hughes as Secretary of State did a phenomenal job for Harding in foreign policy.

The star of the cabinet was Herbert Hoover at Commerce, who ironically he was seen as like the activist in the Harding administration. So a number of the appointments were very solid. I think often don't get the credit that they deserve and they're kind of overshadowed by the bad ones.

Yeah, the letters had been known about between Carrie Phillips and Warren G. Harding going back to the 1960s, though they weren't fully published. published until I think 2014, 2015 by the Library of Congress. And so now you can go to their website and all the letters are there. And usually what gets a lot of play is the graphic nature of the letters.

He's very explicit about their sex life, their sexual activities. He had a nickname for his private part. He called it Jerry. So that gets a lot of play. But I think maybe those graphic accounts get too much play, Because I do think that most likely she was the love of his life, that it wasn't just some like tawdry one night stand for him.

There's obviously the physical attraction, but I think he really did fall in love with her.

Yes. So she comes out with her book, The President's Daughter in 1927. And, you know, it's very sensationalistic. You know, there's a 30 year age gap. And She alleges that she would have these rendezvous with Harding in the White House closet and the Secret Service were used to pay child support. But there were historians over the decades who questioned her account.

And in fairness to those historians, what they focused on was we don't have hard, solid evidence, at least in the Carrie Phillips case, you have those letters. So there, you know, there was no doubt of an affair. So people said, you know, you basically have Nan Britton's word. You know, where's the letters? Though there's evidence that Hardy may have told her to destroy letters.
