The Secretary of State to the Governor of New York (Whitman)
Washington,
May 28, 1917
.
My Dear Governor: I am in receipt of your letter of the 24th in which you advise me that the measure concerning which I wrote you on the 19th was vetoed by you. I believe your action will save the Federal Government very serious embarrassment and I heartily thank you for the prompt and wise course which you have taken in regard to the proposed legislation.
With warm regards [etc.]
Robert Lansing
