January 5, 1925
Hon. Clifford E. Randall,
Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir:
I have just received a wire an
nouncing the death of Mr.. Scott. 1t
is a great shock to me and cannot
realize that che is gone. He was OF
the salt of the earth, one of the rar-
est characters I have ever known.
Whenever l thought of Kenosha "Tom"
always came into my mind - the big
friendly warm hearted Tom Scott.
am sorry that l can never tell him
now of the many inquiries l have
had about him in Washington recently.
The President spoke of him and also
several cabinet officers. He made a
wonderful impression at the Cleve-
land Convention.
While Kenosha will most keenly feel
his loss in its community life, | know
that you feel that you have lost a
brother and / feel that have lost
close and very dear friend.
Please convey to members of his
family my deepest sympathy. Mrs.
Lenroot is still in very serious con-
dition and but for that fact, / should
come to the funeral.
Very sincerely,
/. L. Lenroot.
