Dear Governor Manning:
I know of nothing that will so re-inforce our conservation work as your admirable proclamation. Moreover, it will set a precedent which I hope to see adopted by the other real war governors.
May I suggest some minor changes as outlined in ink in order to secure a little more emphasis.
Yours faithfully,
[Herbert Hoover]
