[TYPED LETTER, SIGNED, FROM WOODROW WILSON TO GEORGE C. PENDLETON, REGARDING WILSON'S History of the American People]. Letter written to fellow Democrat George C. Pendleton by Woodrow Wilson, thanking Pendleton for his praise of Wilson's HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (1902), and for noting a mistake. Pendleton was a Confederate soldier and later a Texas politician. Wilson writes:"I very warmly appreciate your kind letter of November 7th, and it is particularly gratifying to me when men of my own section of the country [i.e. the South] can utter such warm praise of my HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I am also deeply in your obligation for calling my attention to the mistakes of detail, which I shall be pleased to note for a revision of the book, should such a revision be called for under my arrangements with the publishers. Allow me to thank you also for your kindness in sending me a copy of the address which you delivered at the Confederate Reunion at Belton, Texas, last summer. It will give me real pleasure to read it."This letter was written while Wilson was president of Princeton University (1902-1910); his five-volume HISTORY... was expanded to ten volumes and reprinted in 1918.
