President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
18 April, 1918
.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I would very much value a memorandum containing all that we know about these several nuclei of self-governing authority that seem to be springing up in Siberia. It would afford me a great deal of satisfaction to get behind the most nearly representative of them if it can indeed draw leadership and control to itself. A summary of what we know (stripped of the confusions of the cables) would be a most welcome thing as a support to my judgment in the premises.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
