BODE; RELATIVE PROPOSED HIP
Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 2.—Governor Scott C. Bone, received
the following letter from President Harding, relative to Ills pro
posed trip to Alaska.—Ed.
THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, D. C.
My dear Governor Bone:
You can be sure that the disappointment of Mrs. Harding and
myself over our inability to come to Alaska this summer is vastly
greater than disappointment of any of the Alaskan citizens. We had
been counting upon it for more than a year, believing that it
would afford us great individual pleasure and satisfaction on
tiie one hand and enable me on the tther to get an official under
standing of ilie resources and conditions and needs of the territory
that could not be so fully impressed by any other process than that
of a personal visit.
I need not tell you that it is only a hope and expectation de
ferred. If all goes well, there will not likely be auy extraordinary
session of Congress next summer, and 1 can well believe it will be
convenient to get away for the trip In June; though It is a long
ways oil we will be making plans to that end.
I am very glad to have your report of the very favorable con
ditions in many sections of Alaska. I regret with you the de
pression which is felt in certain spots. 1 am sure that sentiment
in Congress Is friendly to that development in Alaska which will
best promote its prosperity and reveal the territory as a great
asset to the I'nited States.
1 have already assured you of my desires in that direction.
With my very best regards, I am
Very truly yours
(Signed) Warren G. Harldng
