Text
My dear Colby:
Your letter of yesterday has cheered me mightily. I work along sometimes with hardly more than instinct for a guide, and it is deeply reassuring to me to have those with vision standing outside say that the instinct was right. I thank you with all my heart.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
[Woodrow Wilson]
Hon. Bainbridge Colby,
US Shipping Board
