Dear Mr. Secretary:
I am concerned and grieved to learn of your illness and hope it is neither serious nor painful. You will also always have in mind the importance to the country of your health and ability to carry on the great work you are doing.This is just a line before leaving for a week’s rest to congratulate you upon the magnificent success of the Third Liberty Loan. It surely was an achievement of the first order and one of which you will certainly be proud of for the rest of your life.After a short rest I am hoping to run over to Washington and have a little of your valuable time to discuss plans for the next loan. Mr. Jay has already handed you a memorandum covering much of the ground that we have discussed here. I am convinced that we must develop permanent organizations and make the work continuous the year round if we are to continue to realize the success of the last three loans.With warmest regards and hoping that you will soon be on your feet again, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
