I am also obliged for your courtesy in outlining the territory which the privilege covers." The second letter, dated March 19th, in part: "Admiral Grayson delivered to me on yesterday your very kind message to the effect that it would be acceptable to the Post Office Department for me to use a fac-simile signature, made with rubber stamp, for franking letters."
