THEODORE E. BURTON.
My dear Mr. Strong:
Your letter of the 12th is at hand. I will have a copy of the TRecord sent you immediately.
There were so many interruptions and so many members who revised their remarks that the speech did not appear until the Record published this morning.
I would like to have you look this over and criticise it freely.
I am afraid the ‘Deposit Guaranty” feature is bound to go in. I do not see how the bill can be sufficiently discussed during today and next week. On the other hand, there will be an overwhelming pressure to dispose of the bill in the Senate. Not only is this pressure from the Administration but members of the Senate will resent any delay which will deprive them of their opportunity to go home at the beginning of next week.
Can you arrange it to come here next week, if nescessary? Mr Kent is giving me very valuable assistance and Mr. Perrin is also here. I should be glad to have your assistance as well if you can come consistent with your helalth and other engagements.
Yours very truly,
