Paris,
Monday.
Dearest,
This afternoon I drove with the President over to the Peace Conference. I was present for over an hour. I never was so proud of the President. He towers above the others. Lloyd George, Balfour, Clemenceau, Orlando and Sonneno, Pichon & all are not in the same class with our great man. They splutter and speak—the Presidents replies in about a hundred words—and all is settled his way which is the right and just way. He is a marvel and all realize it—and are afraid of him. He unquestionably dominates the Peace Commission—
From the conference I took a walk and selected a hand bag for your birthday remembrance. Miss Edith thinks I made a good selection so I feel very good over it and believe it will suit you.
Doctor Mc Lean made another nick into my neck. It is better and no pain—scarcely at all.
To-night, the President is having a dinner of 17—the American members of the Peace Commission. The Bensons, BMB, Hurleys—Mc Cormack—Wilmer Bolling—I wrote to Hugh Wallace last week. The President told me confidentially that he was going toaappoint Hugh Ambassador in place of Sharp. I wrote Hugh on the quiet. It will all be out long before this reaches you—The Colonel House is in poor health—
