President Wilson to the Secretary of State
My Dear Mr. Secretary: Thank you very much for letting me read these letters from our Ambassador at Rome.51 His letters are singularly lacking in definiteness of impression, and yet, taken as wholes, they do serve to give one something of the atmosphere of the court at which he is living and of the politics that is stirring Europe just now.
I do not think he states the feeling of animosity towards the United States with entire accuracy or with a full knowledge of all the elements involved; but I fear that in the main he is right.
Cordially and faithfully Yours,
- i.e., the two preceding documents.↩
