President Wilson to King Victor Emanuel of Italy
Washington
, November 20, 1918—6:01 p.m.
Your Majesty’s message of congratulation has given the deepest pleasure. I think that it is a cause for particular pride on the part of the people of the United States that they should have been able at the right time to assist in the great struggle in which Italy has so distinguished herself, and I am sure that I speak their heart in thanking Your Majesty with sincerest warmth for your message, and in sending in return the heartfelt salutations of our own people.
Woodrow Wilson
