"Dear Mr. Liller: I read your letter of August 27th with a great deal of pleasure and regret that other matters of pressing importance prevented me from acknowleding it until this late date.

With reference to the financing of the league, I would be obliged if you would take up this matter with Mr. Mc Adoo direct. With warmest regards I am, Cordially yours, Woodrow Wilson."
