Text

I do not think you can ever know, my great and good friend, how much I appreciate your kindness to me. All that I have tried to do seems so little when measured by the returns you have made. I go only because of my desire to conserve my strength in order that I may serve you the better. I shall believe that you will be successful in all your undertakings, for surely no one is so well equipped as you to do what you have planned. My faith in you is as great as my love for you - more than that I cannot say.

Cordially and sincerely yours,
EM House


Woodrow Wilson
