Transcript
[Navy Department letterhead] November 13, 1916. My dear Mr. Harris: I am pleased to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the tenth, in further reference to the "Anti-American influences," and to say that I am very glad to know that your information didn't come through Mr. Warren. I had no intention of looking further into the matter, and should not have felt unkindly toward him in any event, as I know that after a lapse of time, the fact that such things are confidential is frequently forgotten. With kind regards, I am, Very truly yours, R.S. Griffin Engineer-in-Chief, U.S.N. office Sunday U.S. Gov. U.S. Navy Adm. R.S. Griffin Mr. James R. Harris, Busch-Sulzer Bros. Company, Saint Louis, [Missouri].
