First is 8x10.5” folded letter from Davis answering a letter from Everett P. Wheeler, an American lawyer, author, and politician who in 1894 was the unsuccessful candidate for governor of New York. Wheeler was nominated by a split faction of the Democratic Party which was barred from the state convention and opposed the nomination of ex-governor David B. Hill. Later he helped found the Citizens Union and drafted the bill which created in 1897 the City of New York, incorporating the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Wheeler was also one of the founders of the American Bar Association. As the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, Davis writes from “London April 7, 1920” on stationery embossed with Presidential Seal and the words “Embassy Of The United States Of America.” Letter reads: “Dear Mr. Wheeler: Thank You Very Much For Your Cordial Letter Of March The Tenth Which By Reason Of A Short Absence On My Part Has Just Reached Me. It Is Encouraging To Know That I Have Your Support And Sympathy And I Am Particularly Glad To Have The Excellent Address Which You Enclosed. I Warn You, However, That You Take Some Risk In Trusting Me With Your Ideas For I Shall Avail Myself Of Them As If They Were My Own. One Of The Great Burdens Of This Post Is The Number Of Public Speeches Which Are Demanded And It Is A Desperate Struggle To Find New Words For The Limited Circle Of Topics Which A Diplomat Is Permitted To Discuss. In Such An Emergency I Feel Entirely At Liberty To Pilfer Thunder From My Friends And I Am Proud To Count You Among The Number. Believe Me, Always, Sincerely Yours.” He finishes with 3.5” long black ink signature. About 30 mostly faint and dot sized age marks on margins. Faint mailing folds. Also includes buff colored 3x5” card in blue ink “Yours Truly/Charles W. Bryan.” Two stamp hinge traces on reverse. Letter comes with Hake's COA and JSA LOA. Card comes with Hake's COA and JSA COA.
