Dear Admiral Grayson
Miss Holt of the Blinded-in-War work asked me to forward the accompanying letters from herself and Captain Languedoc, one of the patients at her “Phare”, to the President, which I omitted to do on the day she made the request.
I now send them to you. Miss Holt telephones me that Mrs. Wilson is going to the Phare this afternoon at 5. I hope you may be able to come too, as I should like your opinion of the work, which I have reason to believe is of the very best of its kind; but I am not an expert in such matters.
If you are of the same opinion, after a personal investigation, I hope the President may be able later on to pay the Phare a visit. It was of very particular interest to the late W—J. H. Choate.
I may add that if a somewhat similar institution, with a man named Kessler at its head, solicits a visit from the President, I should like to explain to you or General Harts, why I do not think the President should go there.
Yours very Sincerely
Henry White
I propose being at the "Phare" to meet Mrs. Wilson this afternoon.
