Transcript	[Page 1] 1775 N Street Washington, D.C . April 4th, 1914 Dear Mr. Watkins : I appreciate your invitation but I began long ago to form a habit of asking to be excused from expressing myself in print by the method you suggest, and I have now become too old to venture a change; so I trust that you will kindly let me off, as all others have done . Very truly yours , Robert Lincoln J. Elfreth Watkins, Esq . Washington
