My dear Mr. Secretary:
This morning’s mail brings me your letter of December 20th, enclosing a special report upon financial conditions in Mexico, which was probably prepared before you received my recent letter through Mr. Leffingwell advising of my inability to attend the conference.
It is a great disappointment to miss the sessions of the conference, which will be most interesting, and I particularly regret being away and losing this opportunity of being of some service to you in connection with the conference.
As you will doubtless wish to appoint some one in my place at an early date, and, in order that he may have opportunity to familiarize himself with this material, I am sending it back at once.
Again expressing my sincere regret that I am unable to serve, and thanking you for this evidence of your confidence, I am,
