I am in receipt of your letter in regard to Henry M. London and will give to what you say about him very careful consideration.

I am much gratified that my pardon of Wilcox meets with your approval. There never was a doubt in my mind about the sufficiency of the evidence to go to the jury, but in view of the facts and the extraordinarily fine prison record of Wilcox, I felt constrained to exercise my statutory power in his behalf.

I note with much interest what you say about the negro problem. It certainly does bulk large on the horizon at this time. It is going to be troublesome, but I have faith that our people will find a way to solve it with wisdom and with justice.
