President Wilson to the Secretary of State ad interim
Washington,
16 June, 1915
.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have read these papers through with close attention, and thank you for handing them to me.1
As I said to you yesterday, I am, and have long been, deeply interested in the purchase of the Danish West Indies. I hope that you will take the matter up very seriously and that it may be possible to have a concrete proposal, if possible in the form of a treaty, to lay before the Senate at its next session.
Cordially and Sincerely,
W. W.
