| Title | John W Weeks to Harry New saying he is too busy to go out of town |
| Date | 21 February 1924 |
| Author | Weeks, John W. (John Wingate) (1860-1926) |
| Recipient | New, Harry |
| Document Type | Correspondence |
| Content Description | Writes, "I cannot, under present conditions, make any arrangements to go out of town to make speeches. As you know, there are too many things pending here to warrant my being away from my own job. Just yesterday the House ordered an investigation of the Army Air Service. There is another matter that may come up before the Senate Oil Committee, in which I may be called to testify, and there are so many other reasons - unnecessary to enumerate -- that you will have to say to your correspondents that it is impossible for me to make arrangements at this time to go to Indianapolis or anywhere else. I hope some time I may have an opportunity to accept the cordial invitations which I have had through you to go to your "home town," and sample its hospitality." |
