Paris Peace Conf. 183.9 Brazil/2: Telegram

The Acting Secretary of State to the Commission to Negotiate Peace

89. For the Secretary of State. Embassy, Rio de Janeiro, urgently requests information as to how invitations to Peace Conference will be issued and whether less important Allied countries such as Brazil may participate on their own invitation. Embassy also states that The Chamber of Deputies have asked Brazilian Minister of Foreign Office whether Brazil has been invited. Da Gama sent personal message to me stating he would be very much embarrassed by his inability to answer inquiries and asked for your friendly assistance.
