New York, Aug. 15, 1917.
The President
Our people in New York appreciate the compliment paid to their loyalty and courage by the selection of our Irish Catholic regiment, the Sixty-Ninth New York, amongst the first to go to the front. I speak the mind of all then by requesting that a commanding officer who will represent that character of the appointment of Captain Haskell would be eminently satisfactory.
John Cardinal Farley,
Archbishop of New York.
