My dear Mr. Eastman:
Woodrow Wilson
Mr. John C. Eastman,
Chicago, Illinois.
Now and again at very rare intervals a moment of leisure comes to me, when I can turn to those who have been especially generous in their support of me and of the things I believe in and tell them how earnestly and sincerely I appreciate the work they have done. May I not take a moment today to send you a very cordial message of this sort? Men caught in the hurry of public business are apt to be supposed ungracious and ungrateful, simply because their whole days are engrossed in matters not personal to themselves. As a matter of fact, I venture to say they often turn with very genuine gratitude in their thoughts at least to those who have upheld them.
Cordially and sincerely yours,Woodrow Wilson
Mr. John C. Eastman,
Chicago, Illinois.
