Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre to Lloyd S. Woodrow

We all enjoyed your letter very much and we hope we shall see you both soon again. It would indeed be fun to visit Columbus, not only to learn to drive a machine but to see the rest of your family, too, but I am afraid there is no immediate prospect of our being able to do so.
Did you see in the paper about the exciting happenings in the hotel Coleman a week or two ago where Nugent our Democratic State Committee chairman attempted to break up the meeting that was forcing him to resign, with a dozen or more thugs from New York and Jersey City? You remember he gave a public toast to father as a “liar and an ingrate”, which the Committee wouldn't stand for. When he thought the quorum was successfully broken up he departed, and at that critical juncture an old member from South Jersey who had been delayed by blocked cars sauntered in, the quorum was again complete, and Nugent's fate sealed. Meanwhile the Coleman House had seen some sharp hand to hand fighting.
The encampment is over now, to our sorrow. We miss all the life and motion. But Sea Girt continues cool and delightful.
Your father cannot be as sorry as we that we missed him that last evening. However the Rumson Road ride was so delightful that we can never forget that, and so I hope he will forget the fish.
With kindest regards from us all to him and the to you all
