The Secretary to the President (Tumulty) to the Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Lansing: Mrs. Wilson this morning sent me the following memorandum with regard to the matter contained in your letter of the 21st instant to the President:

“The President says he agrees with the Secretary as regards to withdrawing our representatives in Paris, and of retaining our member of the Supreme Council.

“About the signing of the Treaty with Bulgaria, he thinks if the American representatives are still in Paris, they could sign, but does not advise their remaining for that purpose.”

Sincerely yours,

J. P. Tumulty
