JAMES R. MANN. MEMBER OF CONGRESS. BANCROFT LIBRARY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES U. S., CONFERENCE MINORITY ROOM. WASHINGTON.
D. C. August 28, 1913. Mr. Robert U. Johnson, 327 Lexington Avenue, New York City. My dear Mr. Johnson:-- The Hetch-Hetchy
bill is one not free from difficulty for me, but I have no doubt that it will pass the House practically as reported by the
Committee on Public Lands. I endeavored to name as republican members of that committee very able men, some of whom at least
have been quite prominent in opposition to graft legislation. The committee seems to be unanimous. Action on the bill has
been deferred for some time, but I think it will be passed when it is taken up. Yours very truly, illegible N. C. illegible
