Grant", September 3, 1917, sent while aboard the U.S.S. Minnesota, in full:I know that long long ago you formed an opinion of me - that I am about the slowest ever - and perfectly incorrigible concerning acknowledgment of letters. I must 'own up' and say that your opinion is justifiable even from my point of view. To accomplish all that I have to do this serious default in my make up might have been corrected had I been born twins or triplets. I am writing now to thank you for your card of congratulations forwarded July 19, the day I was advanced in rank to Vice Adm. (dangerous rank). Admiral Fakeshite of the Japanese Navy told me yesterday there is but one more step for me - namely, become a full Admiral. During these days of grape juice and prohibition how am I to accomplish that next step?I am sending this note to the Hotel Willard, hoping it may find you there. With very best wishesAccompanied by original mailing envelope, addressed in Grant's hand and censored by him "A.W.G".Uncommon WWI letter.
