Text
On night late I noticed that the President was very much exhausted, and as a result of his hard work and the natural effect of his slight illness on shipboard, - so I persuaded him to make a day of absolute rest. The result was that the President remained in his apartment until lunch time, combining breakfast and lunch.
In the afternoon he went for a three-hour motor ride with Mrs. Wilson. In the evening he again conferred with Premier Orlando on the Italian situation. He also talked with Lord Robert Cecil and Colonel House on the League of Nations situation. Lord Robert Cecil, who has been earnestly in favor of the League of Nations at all times, told the President that he also was fully convinced that the League of Nations must be an integral part of the peace treaty and that he (Cecil) intended making a very strong statement to that effect both to the British and American newspapermen.
