Text
My dear Heath,
Woodrow Wilson
Hurrah, and a tiger! I am deeply delighted. I've been wishing this happiness for you in my heart, and the news of it comes like a fulfilment of hope. Alas! I cannot hope to be present: I am tied hand and foot to my tasks at the time set; but I shall think of you as I know you would like to have me. Commend me to Miss Davis as a worthy person who would like immensely to know her; congratulate her for me; and know that I count you a happy fellow, am glad at the thought, and am now, as ever,
Affectionately Yours,Woodrow Wilson
