President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
10 September, 1915.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I do not think any answer to this despatch is necessary.54
It is no doubt useful to know what opinion is on the other side of the water. After while even Englishmen will begin to understand (I wonder if they really ever will?) that what we are guided by is our sense of what is just and right and not our sensibility as regards what other nations think about us.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
