Taft's upcoming speech to the Virginia Republicans; Maj. Swift's appointment as head of the Army War College.
with
20 August 1908, Washington
Dear Sam:
Herewith a letter from Captain Donohow - whom I suppose you know. Please return it to me. It shows what has been in the South the common opinion about Gettysburg. Let Hugh read it. I hope you will go to hear Taft's speech to the Virginia Republicans. I sent you a copy of Major Swift's letter about my book. I am informed that he is a West Point graduate - class 1872 - & that he is regarded as one of the most accomplished officers in the Army. For that reasons he was made head of the Army War College.
