"Tho White House. Washington,
March 1R, 1000. Dear Will:
"I think I have been in error as
to yoil'r fooling. You sny that It is
your decided preference to contlnuo
In your present work. I hnd not un
derstood. On tho contrary, I gnth
orod that what you really .wanted to
do wns to go on tho bonch and
that my urging was In the 1'lno of
your iiio'inat'on, but In a niatfor in
which you woro In doubt ns to yonir
duty. j
"My dear Will, it la prominently
a niatfor In which no othor man can
tako tho responsibility In dcc'dlng
for yon what is right and bot for
you to do. Nobody could decide for
me whether I should go to war or
stay as assistant secretary of tho
navy. Nobody could dccldo for mo
whethor I should nccopt tho vlco
presldoncy or try to contlnuo as gov
ernor. In each caso It is tho man
himself who Is to lead his life aftor
having decided ono way or tho other.
No one can load that llfo for him,
and neither he nor anyono olso can
afford to have anyone else make tho
decision for him; hecauso tho vital
factor in tho decision must bo a
question of tho man hlmsolf.
"'As I sco tho situation Jt In thin:
There are strong arguments agalnBt
your taking this Justiceship. In tho
first placo, my bol'of that of all mon
that havo appeared bo far you aro
the man who Is most likoly to re
colvo it. It la not a light thing to
caftt Rsido tho chance of tho presi
dency, ovon though, of courso, It is
a chance, however good a. ono,
"Now, my doar Will, thoro Is tho
situation an I soo It. It Is a hard
choico to make, and you .youraolf
havo to mako It, You havo two nl
ornatlvo8 boforo yoi, each with un
certain possibilities, and you cannot
bo Hiiro that which ovor you tnko,
you will not afterward fool that it
would havo been bettor if you had
taken tho othor. Unit whichovor
you tako, I know that you will ron
der great nnd durnblo service to tho
nation for many years to como. No
ono can with wisdom ndvho you.
