President Wilson to the Secretary of State

Washington, 26 November, 1916.

My Dear Mr. Secretary: I would be very much obliged to you if you would discuss this⁷² with me orally at the earliest opportunity,—say after the meeting of the Cabinet on Tuesday next, the 28th. I do not feel certain yet of my instinctive judgment in the matter, which is adverse to any participation by our government in the conference proposed.

Faithfully Yours,

W. W.
