TLS as president, one page, 6.5 x 8.75, White House letterhead, April 16, 1918. Letter to Francis M. Cowgill regarding use of his inventions. In full: “I have read your letter of April second with interest and realize the possibilities that may lie in your suggestions. At the request of the Secretary of the Navy, I am writing to ask if you will not be kind enough to submit your inventions to the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy Department. You can count, I am sure, upon the honor and principle of these gentlemen to treat in confidence whatever you wish treated so, and they will be very glad indeed to discuss with you the value and use of your inventions.” Double matted and framed with a Pach Bros. portrait of Wilson to an overall size of 18 x 13.75. Overall feathering and light fading to signature, and scattered soiling around central horizontal mailing fold, otherwise very good condition. No doubt Wilson was intrigued by an invention as the United States was involved in World War I.
