COLLEGE AND STATE

VOLUME ONE

26th February 1924

Dear sirs:

I am in receipt of your letter of February 18th, and it seems to me the work you propose doing in bringing out Mr.Wilson's public papers in a single adequate publication is most important.

At my request, Mr.Ray Stannard Baker and Prof. Wm.E.Dodd have assumed the task of bringing together Mr.Wilson's messages to the Congress, international notes, important public addresses, statements, and other public papers; in short, all the important public documents written by him, with brief explanatory notes where necessary.

This is the only authorized edition of Mr. Wilson's public utterances, and I have asked the editors to present them in a form to make them of the utmost permanent value to the general reading public as well as to historians and students of government.

Sincerely yours,

Edwin Bolling Wilson
