Washington, May 12, 1920. 1 p., 4to. On Assistant Secretary of the Navy letterhead, to J.J. McCabe, Esq. [on the upcoming 1920 Democratic National Convention in San Francisco], "...Frankly, I do not think we should create too much of a row or a split in the Delegation... I am a little fearful that Mayor Luna and Judge Seabury have gone a little too far and created a little too much bitterness. It seems to me it is quite unnecessary for us to indulge in personalities or shake fists under people's noses..." Body of letter clean.
