The Secretary of State to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections (Pomerene)
My Dear Senator: While I have not changed my personal opinion as to the expediency of my appearing before the La Follette Investigation Committee, I desire of course to conform to the wishes of yourself and your associates. I hope you will understand, therefore, that, in the event you think my presence will prevent any embarrassment to your Committee or any criticism which might be raised, I will, if your views are unchanged, be ready to appear before you whenever you desire me to do so.
Very sincerely yours,
