Title

Letter from Grover Cleveland to Hon. William L. Wilson, Washington, D.C., 11 May 1892

Description

Regrets he is unable to spend July 4th with Wilson's townsmen. "My observation and experience, is fast convincing me, on wholly impersonal grounds, that Henry Watterson knows less about the politics of the country in a broad way, than any one who talks anything like so much as he about the subject. The manner in which, to use your expression, he 'cackles' first in one place and then in another, will soon be regarded as tiresome and as useless as the brain of a barren hen."
