Herbert Hoover: “The Federal Government can cooperate in assistance in disaster with community and industrial action and the organization…”

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.

I earnestly hope that this may be done.

One never makes a statement like that.

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.
