President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
27 March, 1917
.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I entirely approve. In view of recent despatches from Denmark, would it be possible to complete the transfer before the Congress meets,—I mean, of course, so far as the payment of the money is concerned and the formal transfer of title? I hope that this can be arranged.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
