Text
My dear Mr. Ely:
In haste
Woodrow Wilson
Mr. Matt C. Ely,
Hudson Observer,
Hoboken, New Jersey.
Of course, I entirely agree with you about Frank Hague, but I am quite clear in my opinion that intervention on my part in respect of personal candidacies would probably do more harm than good.
I warmly appreciate your kindness in writing.
In haste
Woodrow Wilson
Mr. Matt C. Ely,
Hudson Observer,
Hoboken, New Jersey.
