Paris Peace Conf. 811.001/357: Telegram

The Secretary of State to the Commission to Negotiate Peace

[Paraphrase]

3291. From Phillips for Polk. To be deciphered personally by Mr. Polk. Your number 4427 of September 29. Admiral Grayson tells me that the President is troubled by nervous exhaustion which has given rise, to a number of complications, including completely upset digestion. He also is suffering from an attack of asthma and has a great deal of difficulty in sleeping. He will not be able to take up any work whatsoever this week. Grayson believes that by next week he will be able to do a little work. He is much better today than he has been and Grayson is encouraged.
