President Wilson to the Acting Secretary of State

Washington, September 17, 1914.

My Dear Mr. Lansing: I had a short interchange of views with the Secretary of State last evening over the telephone about the enclosed dispatch from the German Chancellor.³ My own judgment is that it needs for the time, at any rate, no reply from us. I wonder if your judgment is the same?

Cordially and sincerely yours,

Woodrow Wilson
