January 7, 1916 [return]
Mr. Edward A. Sohott [return]
539 Locust Avenue [return]
Philadelphia, Pa [return] [return]

My dear Sir:- [return]
I trust you will accept this tardy acknowledgement [return]
of your cordial letter of November 19th, conveying [return]
an expression of your approval of my action in [return]
handling the somewhat notorious Hillstrom case. It is [return]
a source of gratification to me to know that the right-thinking [return]
people of the country uphold us in our handling [return]
of this case. After the experience in connection [return]
with the vicious propaganda on behalf of Hillstrom, I [return]
am very thoroughly convinced that the time has arrived [return]
when those who are interested in the welfare of our institutions [return]
of government must take a firm stand against [return]
the organizations which are springing up through-out [return]
the country with no other object than the overthrow of [return]
our government. [return]
Again thanking you and with kind personal regards, [return]
I am [return][return]

Cordially yours, [return][return]

Governor.
