President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
5 September, 1918
.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am content, in the circumstances you set forth, that this matter should rest for the present; but I hope that we shall make sure that promises are fulfilled. Many other promises have been made which minor persons of various indirect influence have seen to it should not be redeemed.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
