  Dear Mr. Warriner:-

       I am in receipt of your letter of recent date relative

  to the attitude of Congress toward the celebration of

  100 years of peace between United States and Great Britain.

  In reply will say that the principal reason for the opposition

  to this project in the House lay in the fact that

  next year we are going to have a great Exposition at San

  Francisco to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal.

  The Government has appropriated about one million dollars

  for this project and the event will be participated in by

  all the great Nations of the World. The Navies of the 

  World will assemble at Hampton Roads the first of May next,

  and headed by the President of the United States will

  proceed to Panama and thence to San Francisco. It will

  be a great World Peace event and would naturally overshadow

  any celebration of the Treaty of Ghent which might

  be arranged for practically the same time.

       I expect to be in Mount Pleasant sometime during

  the coming week and shall hope to see you at that time.

       Thanking you for the courtesy of your letter and

  with kindest regards and best wishes, I am

                                                Very respectfully yours,

  Faint handwritting
