Robert Lansing Papers

The Secretary of State to President Wilson

My Dear Mr. President: It occurs to me that after your departure it will probably be necessary for me on different occasions to refer to conversations which have taken place at the meetings of the Council of Four and as no records of these meetings are at my disposal, I take the liberty of bringing the matter to your attention for such action as you may consider appropriate.

I believe that Sir Maurice Hankey has the reports of these meetings and at your request will no doubt furnish me with a copy.

Faithfully yours,
