The Secretary of State to President Wilson
Washington,
March 1, 1916.
My Dear Mr. President: I am enclosing a draft of a note in the Appam case.64 The note should be sent tomorrow, so I very much hope you will find time to go over it and return it to me early Thursday. I believe I submitted to you sometime ago a draft of a note in this case, much of which is embodied in this one, particularly the discussion of the interpretation of the treaty.
I would be very much obliged for any suggestions which you may have as to change of thought or language.
Faithfully yours,
Robert Lansing
