My dear Admiral
I fully expected to be in Washington before this, but other plans have prevented my coming there. I wanted to talk to you about your article and the suggestions made by me and by Mr. Wheeler, of which I wrote you a week or two ago. I suppose you have been pretty busy, but if you have time to think of the matter I would appreciate a line giving your conclusions regarding the article; whether you think it advisable to adopt the suggestions made by myself and Mr. Wheeler, or whether you think it should go as originally prepared. As soon as I receive this information I will be in a position to take up the matter with Mr. Wheeler and advise you of the best terms that can be made regarding the promotion and probable financial returns.
I dropped in to see Frank Cobb the same day that you were there and he greatly appreciated your visit. I think there is a distinct sign of improvement in his case, although there is no question that he has been a very sick man. Mrs. Cobb seems to think that he stands a good chance of beating the trouble. I hope so in any event, because I am very fond of him.
It was my very great pleasure and also profit to be present at Saratoga and see the original “My Own” receive the silver cup which her namesake won in fine shape. I had a pretty good bet down on the namesake and would, of course, back the original to the limit if it were possible to make wagers on her splendid qualities.
I wish you would give my affectionate regards to Mrs. and Mr. Wilson if the former has returned. I had a short note signed by Bolling in response to a letter of my own a week ago.
Love to your folks; I am, with very best regards to yourself, as ever,
Louis Seibold.
