August 24, 1921.

My dear Mr. Ambassador:

I give this letter to my sister-in-law, Miss Maria C. Herron, who is a sister of Mrs. Taft. She lives in Cincinnati, my old home, and is travelling in Europe for pleasure. She expects to visit Constantinople, Greece and to spend considerable time in Rome. With her will be another sister-in-law of mine, Mrs. Charles Anderson, and her daughter Miss Katherine. They are old travellers and are not likely to burden you with any requests unless there is some real necessity for it. In that case I am sure I could count on your very effective and considerate assistance.

With congratulations upon your appointment, and
with best wishes for your life in the Eternal City,
believe me, as always,

Sincerely yours,

Hon. Richard Washburn Child,
American Ambassador,
Rome.
