WILSON, Woodrow. Three typed letters signed as President ("Woodrow Wilson"), to William G. McAdoo, Washington, 7 April 1914; Messrs. Hamilton & Duffy, Washington, D.C. 29 December 1914; H. Walter Barnett, Paris, 18 March 1919. Together 3 pages, 4to, on White House stationery.
In his 7 April 1914 letter to Treasury Secretary William G. McAdoo Wilson discusses an appointment to the Richmond branch of the newly created Federal Reserve Bank: "Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, is deeply interested in a Mr. Rogers who has made a high respect for himself in North Carolina as a business man, and I take the liberty of suggesting that you make a note of his name and some inquiry about him of Senator Simmons, in order that he may be carefully considered by the Reserve Board, when it is constituted, as one of the Board of Directors of the reserve bank at Richmond." On 29 December 1914 he thanks Messrs. Hamilton & Duffey for their birthday wishes. And on 18 March 1919, he writes to Londoner H. Walter Barnett from the Paris postwar peace talks: "I need not assure you of my sympathy with any such undertaking as that which you speak of in your letter of February 13th, but I am obliged to say in reply to your letter that I cannot permit the use of my name in association with the society of which you speak. I am debarred from doing so by the circumstance that I have throughout all the recent years of my life declined honorary association with bodies in whose affairsI could take no active part, and I could not now make any exception without giving just offense in many quarters."
