Every time I make any sort of test of your quality my admiration for you is increased and my confidence in you enhanced. The way you responded to the suggestion conveyed to you by Mr. Tumulty the other evening on the telephone is characteristic of you and I look forward with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction to being associated with you here in Washington. I am taking it for granted that the Senate will have the good sense to confirm very promptly the nominations I sent to it yesterday.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson
