One page, 4to, on his imprinted personal stationery. To General William Aiken concerning the belief that it is not a good time for the League to Enforce Peace in Norwich to hold a meeting. Taft states: “…There is not the slightest reason why the speakers at the meeting may not take up the present crisis and discuss it fully, with a call to patriotic sacrifice and an explanation of the situation in respect to Germany, and make it the basis of the strongest kind of argument for the League and for a continued preparation of the public mind for the formation of a League after the war is over…” Taft has added a six-line handwritten postscript.

Interesting letter written just prior to U.S. entry into World War I.
