Signed in text. Asks that Knox proofread a letter he has prepared to reply to Mr. Hammond (not included). Apologizes for asking and for the haste with which this must be accomplished, as he needs to complete the task before the President's return. Adds that he wants close editing for his letter because "the importance of this first move in the business renders him anxious that it should be well corrected."
