President Wilson to the Secretary of State
My Dear Mr. Secretary: Thank you for letting me see the enclosed.22
It is probably too late now to answer Gerard’s question about the advisability of sending a special representative of the German Government here (a “German Colonel House”), but if there should be a renewal of the suggestion or Gerard should for any reason remind us of it I think we should say that we would of course welcome any messenger of friendly counsel the Emperor might think it desirable to send,—without indicating any judgment or desire of our own about the matter.
Faithfully Yours,
