WALLACE, Washington, D.C., 28 November 1928. 1 page, 4to, on White House stationery, matted with a photograph of Harding. President Harding acknowledges "...the proof sheets of your annual report. I have not been able to read it in detail as I would like. I have noted the contents of the paragraphs to which my attention was called by your blue pencil marks. I am very sure it is an excellent, forward looking, and comprehensive report. I would not feel myself competent to undertake its modification in any way. I shall hope later on to find opportunity to study your recommendations in detail..."
