Jos. P. Tumulty.
The White House,
Washington, D. C.
Tried to reach you on Saturday and Sunday in endeavor to find if you could hold out any encouragement regarding subject of our conversation in connection with meeting at Carnegie Hall on eighteenth. Stop. Have discussed matter with associates here and they think it exdceedingly important that this plan be carried out if possible along lines of what is at stake in the war. Stop. We all feel this would stimulate the whole country as well as Liberty Loan Organizations to greater effort, which is much needed, as returns are somewhat discouraging. Stop. Have arranged to have Committee go over to Washington if you can offer any encouragement but pressure of work on Liberty Loan is so great they await word from you before doing so. Stop. Will be glad to go over again myself if necessary and you think it advisable. Stop. Am anxiously awaiting answer.
