JOHN D. LONG"
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary:-It Is with
very sincere regret that accept your
resignation. I shall always count 1t a
privilege. not only to have served with
you during the last six months. but to
have served under you at the outset OF
President McKinley's administration.
I have seen you In both relations, and
1t has never been my good fortune to
be associated with any public man
more single minded In his devotion to
the public interest. Our relations have
been not merely official. but also those
Of personal friendship. May all the
good fortune you so richly deserve at
tend you wherever you go. Sincere
ly yours.
