My dear Father Rockwell:

It is evident from your letter that you and those associated with you are finding many and very effective ways of serving the common interest in the present crisis, and I write to say to you how glad I shall be to keep in mind your generous letter, in case any specific occasion should offer for availing myself of your services either directly or indirectly.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
[Woodrow Wilson]
The Rev. Joseph H. Rockwell, S.J.,
Provincial Maryland-New York Province,
30 West 16th St., New York.
