some people who are of sufficient influence to carry
conviction when they get home. Not only would there
be advantage from the technical point of view in these
gentlemen seeing this organization, but the great
advantage would lie in the methods of placing and
carrying through orders which might be readily adapted
to our own needs in our war preparations.
 
 My excuse for writing you direct on a matter of
this kind is your well known deep interest in the
state of our military organizations and my belief
that this production in Germany is of so much greater
importance to the world than is fully realized at
home.
 
I am, my dear Mr. President,
Respectfully yours,
 
Hugh R Wilson
