My dear Mr. Strong,
Acknowledging yours of September 12th, I had expected to be in New York the latter part of August and again the first week in September; but an infected “big toe” has kept me confined at my home for nearly three weeks. I did manage, with the consent of my physician to get up to Washington for two days; but it did me no good.
I very much want to talk over matters with you. They certainly need to be talked over with somebody who has a real desire to preserve the Federal Reserve System in all its integrity. If you have an occasion any time soon to go to Washington and would let me know in advance I will make a special effort to meet you there. Better still, we would be delighted if you would run down to Lynchburg and see us for a day or two.
Perhaps you would be interested to know that I have a letter from my daughter, Mrs. Allen, at Asheville, telling me that Dr. Hamman of Johns Hopkins, in consultation with Dr. Minor last Sunday, haves decided to operate on Mr. Allen by collapsing his lungs. They seem to think that this grave operation is the only remaining chance of saving his life.
Always with cordial regards and best wishes, believe me
