Dear Colonel
I just want to let you know that the President has once more taken Washington by storm. The manner in which he brought the Steel people to terms and straightened out the ship-building controversy has won the unqualified admiration of his bitterest critics.
Mark Sullivan sat down to table with me yesterday and volunteered in most earnest manner the pledge that never again would he criticize the President."He has done a number of things in the past which I do not approve," said Sullivan, "but as I look back on them they were little things. He can do big things in a bigger way than any man of modern times and if I can help it, Colliers shall never contain another word of criticism of his official acts. Peter Dunne who writes many of our editorials, may try to get by with unfriendly matter, but he will not do so, so long as I have the power to stop him. The President's achievements of the last few days have thrilled me."Sullivan really spoke with all the ardor of a religious convert.
With kindest regards and best wishes,
I am,
(Signed) R. W. Woolley.
Information of,
The President.
