The Special Representative ( House ) to the Secretary of State

90. Secret for the President. I believe it is essential that you land in England. You could arrange to visit Italy later and during some [Page 129] interim. I shall count on your sailing December 3d. This would enable you to land December 11th and remain in England the 12th and 13th reaching Paris night of 14th. The Peace Conference will probably be called for December 16th but there need be no active sessions for a week or 10 days. This time could be used for Inter-Allied conferences. Please let me know whether I can plan according to this schedule.

Edward House
