The Chargé in Italy (Jay) to the Commission to Negotiate Peace
[Received 11:20 p.m.]
509. Am sending following to Department. Can you in meantime give me any information or instructions.
“Personal for Secretary of State or Phillips. Please telegraph me for my personal information true condition of the President’s health. I sincerely trust newspaper reports are exaggerated.
Also instruct me regarding above for official use with Italian Government stating specially whether President is unable personally to attend to current matters. I have been repeatedly explaining in view of President’s recent personal instructions to me that further appeals to him about Fiume are useless and this should clinch matter.”
