Hon. Timothy L. Woodruff,
287 Broadway, New York City.
My dear Woodruff:-
I have just remembered since reading your note of the 13th that, acting under the authority of the Board of Trustees, I gave Woodrow Wilson an invitation to be our Commencement orator last year, and he declined it. It was after that that you came into the game and secured the services of Mr. Beck.
Will it be advisable to give Wilson another invitation so soon? I am willing to try him, if you think that it is wise to do so. As it appears to me now, I should think that we would have a better chance of receiving a favorable answer from him, if we waited a year or two before extending another invitation.
How would the sky-rocket oratory of our friend Littleton do for our Commencement platform?
With salutations Yours in bonds
Charles H. Levermore
