My dear Mr. Postmaster General
I thank you heartily for your note of sympathy to me. I appreciate it all the more because of your reference to your own sorrow in the loss of President Harding.
While others are thinking of the demise of men who occupy or have occupied great positions, you and I in the nature of our association with these men are brought to think of them more as human beings, of what their companionship and confidence meant to us, of what we lose from our personal lives by their going away. Gaps like this can never be filled, and I am grateful to you for your discernment of the real meaning of the personal sorrow which has just come to me.
Thanking you again, I am,
Sincerely yours
Cary T. Grayson
Honorable Harry S. New,
Postmaster General.
