My dear Governor:
I have your letter of the 19th instant and I have taken great pleasure in having the President autograph the three Liberty Bonds of fifty dollars each you sent me, being Numbers 3,068,368 - 69 - 70 respectively. On Bond Number 3,068,369, I have put my own signature in addition to that of the President,- this being for you personally. I am manifesting sufficient egotism in doing this to believe that you will care to have my autograph as well as the President’s as a souvenir of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the splendid work you have done for the Fourth Liberty Loan and I am going to write you a special letter about this shortly. I am merely waiting for the final returns from all banks. I earnestly hope that you are going to arrange your matters now so that you can get a genuine rest. I am concerned about your health and the over-taxation of your strength which I know the Fourth Liberty Loan has necessitated. Take some of the advice you have so kindly given me and go away as soon as you can for a needed period of recuperation.
With all good wishes, I am,
