The Secretary of State to President Wilson
Washington,
January 23, 1917.
My Dear Mr. President: I call your special attention to this telegram received this morning from Berlin,77 which appears to me to create a very serious situation, if Mr. Gerard is accurate in his presumptions—which sound to me very reasonable.
Faithfully yours,
Robert Lansing
