Cummins is at work getting up a report, which I suppose he will send to all the judges....I notes that some discouraged employee had attempted to have you impeached, and that the committee turned it down without ceremony. That is what happens from any impeachment trial....It has something in it that nerves everybody who is an enemy of a Judge to attempt to make himself a nuisance....I am glad that you have not been worried about it. I shall be very glad to see you when you come to Washington...."; Typed letter signed ("Bill") to C.H. Kelsey, Washington, D.C., 4 June 1912, one page, 4to, on printed White House stationery, a bit faded, "I have your note with enclosed clipping from Harper's Weekly.
