The Secretary of State to the Swiss Minister ( Sulzer )

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of November 21, 1918, together with its enclosure, regarding the wish of your Government to be appropriately represented at the coming conferences, especially those dealing with topics in which Switzerland has interests of a general or private character.

In reply, I beg to inform you that this Government has received with sympathy the request of the Swiss Government and it is not in a position to give a final reply until after arrival of the President in Paris.

Accept [etc.]

Robert Lansing
