President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
26 August, 1915.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: My opinion in this matter, compendiously stated, is that we should say that “Parties would take no action either for or against such a transaction”, but that this should be orally conveyed, so far as we are concerned, and not put in writing.
I hope that this is also your own judgment in the matter.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
