Dear Mr. Tumulty
I am returning, herewith, the letter from Mr. Charles E. Lambert and I trust that you will understand the situation in which I am placed and the impossibility of my leaving Washington to make a speech.
I have been persistently refusing all invitations of this character because, as you know, the efforts to get together a tentative organization takes from eighteen to twenty hours out of every day.
Yours sincerely,
[Hoover]
Hon. Joseph P. Tumulty,
