Letter from Robert Lansing to Frank Hopley, April 1, 1921, "The Most Thrilling Moment of My Life"

Summary

Frank Dorrance Hopley (1872-1933) wrote a number of boys' books and authored stories and articles for national magazines and newspapers. In 1921, Hopley had an idea for an article -- he would ask famous individuals to share their life's most thrilling moment. Robert Lansing, former Secretary of State during the First World War, was not prepared to answer -- some of his thrilling moments were too personal.
