Text
My dear Mr. Marburg:
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. Theodore Marburg,
Bartlett Inn,
Upper Saranac, NY
I have read your letter of August 6th with a great deal of interest, but, alas, you do not know of course as intimately as I do how difficult the conferences at Versailles are. I would despair of getting such action as you suggest discussed there in the midst of the other matters bristling with practical difficulties which the Council has to handle; and moreover we are not at present represented at that Council, and in a matter of the sort to which you refer it is of capital importance that we should be. It is unnecessary to add how much I appreciate your interest in these matters and how welcome your suggestions always are.
Cordially and sincerely yours,Woodrow Wilson
Hon. Theodore Marburg,
Bartlett Inn,
Upper Saranac, NY
