Please convey to the King the following message: “Having heard from Mr. Whitlock that it might be possible for Your Majesty to come to this country for a short time in the autumn I hasten to tender on behalf of the American Government a most cordial invitation to Your Majesty and to Her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians to visit the United States at such time as may best suit your convenience.
May I add a personal expression of the great pleasure that it will give me to receive you and the Queen as the honored guests of the Nation. Woodrow Wilson.”
