Colonel E. M. House to the Acting Secretary of State

Paris , December 4, 1918—10 p.m.
[Received December 4—8:24 p.m.]

229. Secret for Polk only, from Auchincloss. Your 112, December 3 [2], 7 p.m. Believe Davis probably most satisfactory man to act as Treasury’s adviser of Peace Mission. Understand that Crosby has cabled Treasury Department that Colonel House told him he would like to have him available for consultation on reissuing [?] matters and has asked for instructions from Treasury. Perhaps you can advise Treasury Department correctly in the light of my 201, November 30. Your advice respecting other Treasury representatives will be followed. Understand now that McFadden and Sheldon are returning to United States in the near future.

Did my wife sail with Presidential party?

Please cable what you were able to do with reference to our 222.35

Edward House
