My dear McAdoo
Faithfully yours,
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. William G. McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury.
I had a long talk with Senator Gore the other day, who was very anxious to obtain some recognition for Oklahoma in the general appointments which we are making. He urged upon me a colored man named Patterson for Register of the Treasury. I wonder if you would not be kind enough to see the Senator about it and consider the matter for me.
AlwaysFaithfully yours,
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. William G. McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury.
