My dear Mr. Lafoon:
I answer your letter of October 7th with real pleasure. Governor Stanley did seek the advice of the Bureau of Education before vetoing the bill prohibiting the teaching of the German Language in the public schools of Kentucky, and did, in my judgment, act entirely with a view to the general educational interests, and certainly should not be considered as having in that matter been guilty of the least touch of disloyalty of any kind. I have entire confidence in Governor Stanley and should be sorry to see any misunderstanding arise as to his motives in this or any other matter.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. Polk Lafoon,
Kenton County National Defense,
Covington, Kentucky.
