I am under deep and lasting obligation to your Excellency for your gracious response to the request of my friend Mr. Herman Scheffauer, to present me with one of your autographed photographs, to which you have most graciously added some printed matter of great interest. It is beyond my power to express my gratitude and appreciation of your kindness| and my admiration of your transcendent abilities, high character and services to mankind, but I beg you to believe that I shall always treasure these evidences of your consideration & courtesy among the most valued of my possessions.
With great respect and many thanks, believe me, Your sincere & grateful admirer
