Baker, in full: “Thank you for your letter of yesterday with General Crowder’s figures. I hope that you will argue before the Senate and House conferees in favor of making the draft depend upon the available numbers of men in Class 1. I have debated this matter with various persons, including some members of the House Committee, and am entirely convinced that you and General Crowder are quite right in regard to it.” In very good condition, with trimmed edges, surface loss above letterhead, tape remnants affecting appearance, punch holes to lower border, and a uniform block of light toning over signature.
