Our little conversation just before we parted last night was, in effect, an answer to your note of the other day, but I want to acknowledge it in this way and to say how much I appreciated your thoughtfulness in writing it. I realize very keenly how unfortunate it is that so many circumstances should be combined to render it an anxious and ticklish business to change the tariff and also the basis of the currency, but I feel that if we allow ourselves to be forced to a modification of plan by the alarms and embarrassments of the moment, we shall never find the time more suited to what we wish to do, because whenever action is contemplated, the same obstructions will arise. A steady purpose and a just execution of it seems to me the only course open to us.
Always, with warmest regard,Faithfully yours,
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. Franklin K. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior.
