The Diplomatic Secretary, Commission to Negotiate Peace (Harrison), to the Secretary-General, Commission to Negotiate Peace (Grew)

[Paris,] January 9, 1919.

In accordance with directions given orally by Colonel House last evening, January 8th, 7:00 P.M., I telephoned to the Embassy in London to Mr. Butler Wright, Counsellor of the Embassy, informing him that it was the desire of the President that Mr. Buckler4 proceed at the earliest possible moment to Stockholm, in conformity with the instructions given him during his recent visit to Paris.

I informed Mr. Wright of the desire of the Commissioners that Mr. Buckler in leaving Sweden proceed either through Germany or through Holland to Lausanne where he should arrive, if possible, by the 20th instant.
