That's practically my sole business now for a time, and it's a slow process.

But it's coming along and relief from seeing hordes of people is as good as medicine.
Affectionately, W.H.P.
_To the President_ Sandwich, May 24, 1918.
DEAR MR.

PRESIDENT: Your speeches have a cumulative effect in cheering up the British.
As you see, if you look over the mass of newspaper clippings that I send to the Department, or have them looked over, the British press of all parties and shades of opinion constantly quote them approvingly and gratefully.

They have a cumulative effect, too, in clearing the atmosphere.

Take, for instance, your declaration in New York about standing by Russia.
