Woodrow Wilson letter to Champ Clark - January, 24 1918
Transcript
24 January, 1918 My dear Mr. Speaker: Your letter of yesterday is mighty fine for one’s spirits. It is astonishing to me what partisanship and the spirit of criticism is capable of at a time when what we need above all things else is cooperation and helpfulness. I would have expected such an assurance from you as you have sent me, but it is none the less delightful to have it thus generously volunteered. Cordially and sincerely your friend, Woodrow Wilson Hon. Champ Clark, The Speaker.
