ALS as president, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, April 2, 1913. Letter to the newly appointed Secretary of War Lindley M. Garrison, who had recently toured areas of Ohio devastated by floodwater, in full: “May I not say to you, a little more formally than this afternoon, how sincerely and warmly I value and admire the services you rendered on your trip to Ohio? I do not see how the situation could have been better or more thoughtfully and wisely handled. I feel that you are to be congratulated on having been so soon tested and found to be the right man in the right place. May I not confess to a little pride that my judgment, so confidently expressed to you in my office at Trenton, should have been so soon vindicated? Will you not convey my warm greetings and thanks to the officers who are working with you to aid the authorities and help the people of the flooded districts?” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original White House Mailing envelope, addressed in Wilson’s own hand, “Hon. Lindley M. Garrison, Sec’y of War.”
