President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
21 August, 1915.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have your letter about the Arabic, and find myself in substantial agreement with it.
I do not think that an immediate summons of the Cabinet would be wise. We should first know all the facts. So soon as they are known we ought of course to find the views of our colleagues. Haste in the matter would be likely to give the country the wrong impression, I fear with regard to our frame of mind.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
