My dear Secretary McAdoo:
I am most grateful to you for your courtesy in sending me those bonds bearing the President’sWoodrow Wilson autograph, and particularly for the one bearing your own, which you sent for me personally. Of course you realize that the Government will never be called upon to pay these bonds; they will be highly valued souveniers of some work which we all enjoyed, but really of the privilege which we particularly enjoyed in doing some work for “Uncle Sam.”
Many thanks for the good wishes and the good advice contained in your letter. Just to show you much I value it, I am going to take it, as I am leaving on Wednesday for ten days’ absence, and then after a short stay at the office hope to go away again.
With congratulations upon this fourth successful loan, and warmest regards, I am,
