The Acting Secretary of State to the Acting Chairman of the American Delegation (Gibson)
93. For the Secretary. I have read your telegram No. 161 to the President, who is at the Rapidan. He says that there is nothing at present here which demands your immediate return and feels that if there is “the remotest chance that your presence in Geneva at the time of the conversations might assist in bringing a solution you would be wise to remain”. The President, of course, leaves the decision to you, but feels that an agreement in Geneva is so important that you may prefer to remain, knowing that there is no question here which demands your attention.
