September 20, 1915

My dear Mr. Hoover:

        It was a real pleasure to receive your letter of September third. I have for a long time wanted to express to you the great admiration with which I have followed the extraordinary work that you have been doing as chairman of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. It has been a work wonderfully done and my thought has followed you very constantly in it.

        I warmly appreciate your thought of me as expressed in your letter and thank you for it from the bottom of my heart.

        Cordially and sincerely yours,

Woodrow Wilson

P.S. Thank you also most sincerely for the report which you were thoughtful enough to send me.\

Mr. Herbert Hoover,
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
London, England.
