Dear Mr. Ambassador
I have read with the greatest of interest your ten rules that have governed your life, and I hope I can use some of them with profit.
You fail to mention one important factor concerning your health, which may best be illustrated by the old saying “never dig your grave with your teeth.” I often remember that your luncheon at the Navy Department consisted of bread and milk. In this connection I recall a visit I had with Premier Clemenceau when we discussed the secret of his health at seventy-nine. He invited me to supper with him and we had only bread and milk.
With warmest regards both for Mrs. Daniels and yourself, I am, always
Faithfully yours,
Cary T. Grayson
Chairman
