Herbert Hoover: “I wish for them all a happy and useful journey in a great cause.”

Executive Order No. 4610, approved March 10, 1927, as amended by Executive Order No. 4833, March 19, 1928, and by Executive Order No. 5001, November 23, 1928, is revoked effective July 1, 1932.

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.

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

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.
