 Wilson's First Letter
 The first letter, dated December I, addressed to Colonel Harvey by Cover ernor Wilson follows:
 My Dear Colonel; Every day l am confirmed in my judgment that my mind Is one track road, and can only run one train Of thought at a tinc A long time after that interview with you and Marse Henry at the Manhattan club 1t came over me that when Cat the close of the interview) you asked me that ques- tion about the Weekly, l answered it simply as d matter of fact and of busi- ness, and said never word of my sim cere gratitude to you for all your gener- otis support, or of my hope that it might be continued. Forgive me, and forget my manners. Faithfully yours,
 WOODROW WILSON
 Harvey's Reply
 In reply Colonel Harvey wrote to Gov ernor Wison:
 My Dear Governor Wilson: Replying to your note, think it should go without saying that no purely personal issue could arise between you and me. What ever anybody else may surmise you ulIFclN l.at in, t1 arouse and further your political aspira- lions during the past few years, 1 have been actuated solely by the belief that I vas rendering a distinct public service.
 "fhe real point at the time of our in telNiew vas, as. you aptly put it. one simply of fact and of business, and when you stated the fact to be that my sup. port was hurting your candidacy, and that you were experiencing difficulty in finding way to counteract it's harmful eiiect, the only thing possiblesfor me to dU, in simple fairness to you, no less than in consideration of my own self respect, was to relieve you from embar- iassinent. so far as it lay in my power to do SC, by ceasing to advocate your nomination.
 Perfect Understanding g'rhat, | thinls. WIS l,fuilv ,nderstooI b9tWcen us at the tIine, and acting as- cgrdingly, l took down your name from f1e head of the Weekly's editorial page some days before your letter was writ ten. That seems to be all there is of it 'Whatevet little hurts l may have felt as consequence of the unexpected per emptory action and your attitude to- ward me, is of course wholly eradicated ny your gracious words Very truly yours, GEORGE HARVEY" l Left Uneasy
 Governor Wilson replied under date of January II as follows:
 My Dear Colonel Harvey: Generous end cordial as was your letter writtch Hi reply 70 my note, it has left me iin- easy, because in it's perfect frankness It shows ttat l did hurt you by what so tactlesslS said l am very much ashamed e myself for there is nothing am more ashamed of than hurting a true friend. however unintentional the hurt may have beei. I wanted very much to see you in Washington, but was absolutely captured by callers every min ute l was in my rooms. and when | was n'ot there, was fulfilling public engage ments.
 I saw YOU at the dinner, but could not get at you. l came back early ifl the hope ol catching you at the office. or ! owe it to you to tell yon how ;rsteful am for all of your generous praise and support of me ono one has bescr1bed Ire more nearly as I woulI Ike 10 believe myself to be than YOU ave-; hov' have admired you for the independence and unhesitating courage and individuality of your course; and DOW far l was from desiring that VOL. bould cease your support of me in the Weekly. rrfI1r7if9ff
 Did Not Think
 You vii think me very stupid. but I Did not think of that a $ the result of my blunt answer to your question. l thought Pnly of the means of convincing peon,e pf the real independence of the Week,g.s e position. You will remember that that was what we discussed. And now that lave unintcntionally put you in a false md embarrassing position you heap coals Pf fire upon my head by continuing to live out interviews favorable to my car- idacy. All I can say is that you have proved yourself very big and that wish
 might have an early opportunity to tell all.
 ully yours, WOODROW WILaON."
