Two letters one from Woodrow Wilson, signed as president on white house stationary framed and matted to William McAdoo in reference to a Mr. Berry and the "very great embarrassment he will cause". Also, a letter written by McAdoo to the editor of the World Newspaper in to getting important information to the American public in reference to the Shipping Act. He also goes on to explain that he understands with all of the War news that it is hard to get this in, but would appreciate it if they could feature the information in the Sunday run. McAdoo was a leader of the Progressive movement who played a major role in the two presidential administrations of Woodrow Wilson. He was Wilson's campaign manager in 1912; he married Wilson's daughter, and served as his secretary of the Treasury. He was primarily responsible for financing the American side of World War I, providing large loans to the Allies, and running the troubled railroad system inside the United States.
