Dear Admiral
The great tome goes to you to-day with my affection. George! it’s good to have it finished, and yet I’ve enjoyed it all, and not the least the fine human relationships which have been a part of it.
Whether anybody will buy it—let alone reading it!—no one can say. It is on the lap of the gods. I think Doubleday will do his best with it, but in a wild and scrambling world who has time to sit down & read a book like this! I do hope it will give a juster view of Woodrow Wilson, & of what really happened at that vast struggle at Paris we saw so intimately.
With regard to Mrs. Grayson.
Yours,
Ray Stannard Baker
