William F. Bade, c/o The Independent, 130 Fulton Street, New York City. My dear Friend:- I was in my office for a little
while yesterday - Sunday - morning, of course only to secure and read letters from my wife, but incidentally found yours and
enclosed at once a copy of Secretary Ballinger's order, which had come to my office only the day before. I should be glad
to read the editorial that you are to have in the Independent. I shall be more than glad to pass on to Mrs. Watrous your
kind regards and if I get to New York during the summer, shall hunt you up either at the office or at your residence. Sincerely
yours, illegible RBW/MS 06284
