For our sins, I suppose, we are visited with the affliction of Lodge and and</I> [sic] <I>Wilson too. One would seem to have been enough. When ratification comes, perhaps we shall value it more</I>….&#34; With holograph envelope. Taft was Kent professor of la w at Yale University at the time of the letter.
