Dear Mr. SecretaryWilliam G. McAdoo
Denver, Colorado,
PERSONAL.
Dear Mr. Secretary:
This is the most trying absence from my work that I have ever suffered but I am looking forward to returning by the first of June, barring unforseen developments and, in fact, could return sooner than that if my presence was needed.
This letter is to urge that you do not hesitate to call on me for any work here, in New York or abroad in which I can be of any service to the Government.
I am led to write you just now because of suggestions, which seem to have the appearance of authority, that you are contemplating financial arrangements abroad in connection with war developments. My relations in London and Paris with the bankers are, as you know, of long standing and I hasten to assure you of my desire to utilize them in any way which would be of service to you.
With kindest regards, I am,
Very truly yours
