My dear General Pershing
The bearer of this letter, Dr. Stockton Axson, is my brother-in-law. It would not do, therefore, for me to say that he is a particularly fine fellow. But I am at least at liberty to say that he is the Secretary of the American Red Cross and is anxious to serve the purposes of that organization in any way possible not only, but is also anxious to serve you in any way that you may suggest, in the exercise of his duties.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson
