O OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT . HARRISBURG, PA. July l, 1008 illegible I have yours of June 29, and reply at once. I
will be in illegible as I now expect, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July illegible and 11. Not later than Wednesday of
the following week I expect to leave for my summer home at Eagles More, and it is now probable that I will have to spend Monday,
the 13th, if not Tuesday, the 14th, to New York I will make every effort to be home on the 14th, and it would be a great pleasure
to see you at any time. I think a concerted effort to upset the San Francisco Hetch-Hetchy ignominy will at least call national
attention to the wrong, and since I wrote you before, much progress has been made toward securing a union Of forces among
various associations which could be expected to do something in this respect. Yours truly, JHM/JMW - ACA ILLEGIBLE To
Dr. William F. Bade, President c/o Rev. F. W. Stengel, 70 Church St., Bethlehem, Pa. P. S. I am duplicating this letter
