My dear Mr. Strong
Aware though I am of the heavy burden of work and responsibility resting on you, I venture, in the public interest, to overcome my reluctance to ask you to assume a further obligation. I am most anxious to have you deliver an address at the Second Pan-American Financial Conference on Thursday afternoon, January 15, at 3:00 P.M. on “The Introduction of the Budget System and the Improvement of Fiscal Methods in the United States”.I enclose an advance and confidential copy of meetings and entertainment. I hope within a few days to be able to send you a list of the gentlemen who have up to this time signified their willingness to serve on the Group Committees. You will see from these papers the character of your audience and the importqance of the occasion. I feel that you will be rendering a great service in stating the situation upon a matter so directly of interest to all the official delegations in attendance at the Conference.I trust that I may be favored with a copy of your address as far in advance of the Cohnference as possible in order to permit of translation and printing. If I could have such a copy by the first of January, I would feel greatly indebted to you.
I remain, my dear Mr. Strong,
Sincerely yours,
Carter Glass
