TLS, one page, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead, February 9, 1921. Written from St. Augustine, Florida, a letter to George W. Hills, in full: "I beg to acknowledge yours of February 7th. It pleases me to have you write so enthusiastically in behalf of General Wood. I know how heartily his friends favor his appointment to a place in the Cabinet. It so happens, however, that no one can make a Cabinet except the man in Executive authority and he has his problems to solve and must work them out alone. The political bosses do not have so much influence over the situation as your letter would seem to indicate. I know of one administration coming into authority which takes into account some considerations other than those which are purely political. I can only write one thing truthfully and that is that I want to recognize the eminent abilities of General Wood, and hope to command the approval of his very enthusiastic affairs." Matted and framed to an overall size of 14 x 17. In fine condition, with a tack hole to the top.
