President Wilson to the Acting Secretary of State

15 October, 1914.

Dear Mr. Lansing: For fear this should not reach you promptly otherwise, I am sending it to you within a few minutes of its receipt here.¹⁰

The tone of it is so candid and sincere, and so earnest that I am sure you will wish to send our reply at once.

Cordially,

Woodrow Wilson
