Paris Peace Conf. 184.001/22
The Secretary of State to President Wilson
My Dear Mr. President: As I said to you over the telephone the other day my health requires me to take a few days rest, otherwise I am afraid that I will break down. I plan therefore to leave Sunday for London and to remain four or five days as the guest of Ambassador Davis. Mrs. Lansing will of course accompany me.
I have arranged my work here so that it will progress as well I think as if I was here, and I will be in daily touch with it. In the event, however, that anything demands my presence or if you desire me to return at any time I shall be glad to come back on receiving telegraphic notice.
Trusting that you will understand that I would not leave Paris at this time except that it seems necessary to keep myself in condition to proceed with the work in hand, I am
Faithfully yours,
