A typed letter from Woodrow Wilson to Ruthven Deane, filed under libraries, is a rare example of the future president's personal correspondence. Wilson was a Princeton scholar and university president before he served as governor of New Jersey and then as president of the United States from 1913 to 1921, and he wrote many letters like this one in a formal, carefully worded style. Letters between public figures and civic leaders often dealt with institutions such as universities, learned societies, and libraries, which depended on private patrons and public support. The record does not give the letter's full contents, so its exact purpose remains open, but the library subject suggests it concerned an institution Deane was involved with.
