I do so with the deepest regret because of the distinguished service you have rendered and the fine place you have been able to make for yourself in the Diplomatic Service.
You have always been a public spirited citizen, working for the best interests of your state and of the nation and I know that whether in diplomatic work or at home, you will continue to render valuable service.
I had the pleasure of his acquaintance and I shared the admiration he inspired in all who knew him by his joyous humanity and his unlimited interest in and devotion to the happiness and well-being of others.
My dear Mrs. Bird: I am deeply grieved to learn of the death of your brother, the universally beloved Father Francis P. Duffy.
