The Secretary of State to the Commission to Negotiate Peace
[Paraphrase]
Washington, November
8, 1919, 1 p.m.
3709. For Polk. Referring to your 5071 of November 7, 4 p.m. You are authorized to give Crillon servants 30 days’ notice. You will proceed on theory that the whole Mission will return home on or about December 1, with the exception of those Embassy may need to carry on pending matters which remain. I see no reason why Bliss and White should not return with you.
