My dear Mr. Hoover
In reply to your letter of yesterday, may I not convey at least this degree of reassurance: I am keeping a very careful watch on the progress of the Food Bill in the Senate and believe that, although the measure will go into conference with many undesirable and perhaps impossible features in it, it will come out of conference with practically the provisions we have all along urged.
It is a tedious and vexatious process but necessary to be endured.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson
