William G. McAdoo to Eleanor Randolph Wilson McAdoo

I enclose copy of my letter to , Inc. Los Angeles, dated Sep. 27, '27—I concluded to send a letter to the New York concern, of which I enclose a copy—This for your information—I received at Wardman Park last night, your day telegram of the 18th and this afternoon I got a day telegram from you, dated the 19th, addressed to the office—I presume Flaherty sent the last one, because you always send yours to Wardman Park, while he always sends his to the office—It is fine to hear from you two days in succession. I thought you might have gotten mixed on your dates, between Flaherty's and your own messages—but as I said before, you can't telegraph me too often for my own happiness.
I have gotten myself into for a speech at Richmond, Va, Feby 1—on the law enforcement question. It is such a nuisance, but it was impossible to escape without hurting some feelings and, again, this speech is needed to round out the Century book—I hope that this is my last speech on any subject—You know how these speeches worry me until they are off my mind—It is to be a large meeting in the City Auditorium Richmond, under the auspices of the Ministers, W.C.T.U. and Anti-Saloon League—Bishop Cameron is in charge—I can only send you this hurried note, my darling, as I have much to do—It is a dismal rainy day after two weeks of very beautiful weather—I pray that you are really getting better but I fear that you are not telling me exactly how you are—At any rate, I know that you will improve because you are determined to do so, and I am equally determined to help—if my help has any value—You are a blessed, wonderful “gal” and I love you to distraction!
