Herbert Hoover: “One medical director.”

My dear Mrs. Bird: I am deeply grieved to learn of the death of your brother, the universally beloved Father Francis P. Duffy.

So much of the order of June 8, 1926, creating Reservoir-Site Reserve No. 17, as affects the lands hereinafter described is hereby revoked

There is another phase of the bill as passed which is disheartening.

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.
