Mr. W. J. Bryan to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Have just read your note to Austria. It is very conclusive and I am telegraphing an editorial endorsement of it to the Commoner, but it may be too late for this month’s issue. Am glad you are restraining the jingoes on the Mexican border.

We have enjoyed reading the complimentary notices of Mrs. Lansing and yourself.

With kindest regards [etc.]

W. J. Bryan
