Letter from William Bailey Howland to William Howe Tolman
William Bailey Howland is irritated that William Howe Tolman attempted to capitalize on President Roosevelt’s affiliation with The Outlook by requesting the Legion of Honor for Howland. Howland recalls that Tolman requested the same award earlier for Carroll D. Wright, Richard Watson Gilder, Percy Stickney Grant, and Howland for their work with the American Institute of Social Service. Although Howland was ultimately not awarded a Legion of Honor, he believed that the matter was resolved years ago and is upset that Tolman pursued the same request again.
