Paris Peace Conf. 184/239a: Telegram
The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Secretary of State
5221. Most urgent for the Secretary of State from Polk. Disappointed about George Washington. Shall I arrange to close Mission and send Commissioners and all personnel of Commission home on America between 1st and 5th of December? As I understand America is not in very good condition I may return on regular liner via England, sailing some time in the first ten days of December. I would appreciate very much your instructions as to closing Mission, matter of communications service and work to be turned over to Ambassador. Please see my 5133, November 12, 3 p.m.,7 and 5187, November 14, 8 p.m. Polk.
