MY Dear Mr.. President:
Il am in receipt of yours of

The president replied:
February 10, 1916.
my Dear Mr.. Secretary:
81 must confess to feeling a
very great surprise at your letter
of today offering your resignation
as secretary of war. There has
been no definite action taken yet
in either of the matters to which
your letter of yesterday referred.
The whole matter is under debate
and all the influences that work
for clarity and judgment ought to
be available at this very time.
But, since you have felt
obliged to take this action and
since it is evident that your feel
ing in the matter is very great
indeed, feel that 1 would be only

your desire that should do so.
Il cannot take this important
step, however, without expressing
to you my very warm apprecia-
ton of the distinguished service
you have rendered as secretary of
war. and l am sure that in ex-
pressing this appreciation 1 am
only putting into words the judg-
ment of our fellow citizens far
and wide.
With sincere regret at the ac-
ton you have felt constrained to
take, Sincerely yours,
