The Secretary of State to President Wilson
My Dear Mr. President: I have again been over the material which we have about Herr Albert and I do not believe that we have sufficient grounds to ask for his recall. I am convinced that his are the directing brains of German activities and propaganda in this country and that he is the one who controls the large sums of money being expended here. He has, however, protected himself well. We are continuing our investigations and may find substantial proof of improper conduct, but we have not got it now.
The enclosed memorandum18 covers all the evidence which we have on Albert and I believe that when you read it you will agree that at present there is insufficient grounds for requesting his recall.
Faithfully yours,
