To William R. Wheeler
Washington, July 2, [1906]
MY DEAR BILL,—I have waited until this minute to write you, that I might send you the first greeting from the new office. I have just been sworn in and signed the oath, and to you I turn first to express gratitude, appreciation, and affection.
My hope is to leave here tomorrow and go to Chicago at once on your affair, and then West.
Remember me most affectionately to your wife, and believe me always most faithfully yours,
Franklin K. Lane
At the same time an affectionate letter of appreciation went to Benjamin Ide Wheeler.
