Edward M. House Papers
Colonel E. M. House to President Wilson
Dear Governor: Grey and I are coming out together. We plan to sail on the Lapland, September 16th.
As I wrote you before, there seems to be no purpose in my remaining after Mandate A has been formed. We should finish this by the tenth. I feel the need of getting out of the European atmosphere as I have been in it too long already.
Affectionately yours,
P. S. Our annual falling out seems to have occurred. The Foreign Office received a cable the other day saying that we were no longer on good terms and asking that the Prime Minister and Balfour be informed. The press representatives also told me that they had the same news. I am wondering where this particular story originated and why they wanted the Prime Minister and Balfour to be informed. Tyrrell said it came from one of their men in New York and not from Washington.
