The Secretary of State to President Wilson
Washington,
October 9, 1915.
My Dear Mr. President: I am enclosing you the draft of the note to Great Britain upon which we have been working for so long a time.90 It is unavoidably long, which, to my mind, takes away a certain measure of strength. At the same time I do not see how it can be well abbreviated. Possibly you will think it better to send it by mail, provided it meets with your approval, rather than by telegraph.
Faithfully yours,
Robert Lansing
