I am heartily glad that you are inclined to accept the duties which the Secretary of State suggested to you the other day. I am particularly desirous to have in that place somebody whom I thoroughly know and whom I can thoroughly trust, and when I was discussing it with the Secretary of State I did not feel, and neither did he, that it would be necessary for you to resign the chairmanship of the National Committee. I should be very much distressed to accept any such conclusion as that. The position is only semi-official and seems to me entirely compatible with the inter-election activities of a National Chairman. Your constant presence in Washington, moreover, will make the other things which you have been doing, and which have been so useful, perhaps easier to do than before.
I hope very much that you will accept and that you will find it possible to take this view of the situation.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
In haste
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. Vance C. McCormick,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
