Mrs. Woodrow Wilson to the Secretary of State

Washington, Monday [December 8, 1919], 8:15 a.m.

My Dear Mr. Secretary: Your note with enclosures I have just submitted to the President and he wishes me to say that he still agrees with you that the Mission should leave Paris as arranged but that the plan you suggest (no. one) of having Ambassador Wallace sit in etc. he is willing to adopt.

Then, in regard to the matter of our troops in the Rhineland, the President says he will leave that to Gen. Bliss—and make his judgment concerning it, his own.

I am returning your letter that you may have it for reference—also Mr. Polk’s cable.

Thank you for your message to the President. He is gaining every day now. Please remember us both to Mrs. Lansing.

Faithfully,

Edith Bolling Wilson
