esting visitor and our talk was mostly of details.
Lincoln Colcord submitted an address which he is to read tomorrow before the
National Conference on the foreign relations of the United States.

test against Baruch, for I think the President's mind is practically closed.
Hugh Wallace wrote me a few days ago that he was counting me in on a spec-
ulation that bade fair to realize a profit. I wrote him Saturday that I could
not go into speculation, giving as my reasons <del/> my close affiliations with
the President and the Government. Today he tells me that he has closed out the
speculation with a profit of $2400. $1200. of which he wanted me to take, but
which I declined. He had bought United States Steel and <del>made</del> made it in the
rise. I cannot understand why he made me this offer, for I have never had any
business with him and I have told him repeatedly that under no circumstances
would I speculate in stocks or buy or sell anything in which the Government was
directly or indirectly interested. While I am puzzled at his action, I feel
that he meant it well and that it was a purely generous offer on his part, know-

am anxious to have his cooperation.
Sam Hill of Seattle, a most curious, egotistic specimen called to tell
about his various activities with great and near-great men.
