Paris Dec 5-1918
Dear Mr. McCormick
Thank you for your letter of the 25th ultimo, which reached me here in Paris. The length of my stay in Paris is so indefinite that I think it would be inadvisable for you to come to Paris to see me. I am of the opinion that it would be best not to do anything further in the matter at the present time. I shall be glad if you will forward me any interesting matter that may come to your attention.
With kindest regards, I am,
Faithfully yours,
(signed) E. M. House

Berne March 23-1918
Dear Mr McCormick,
I have your note of March 22 informing me of the change in your address. I have telephoned you twice in the last two days but have been unable to get you, therefore I write to say that we shall be very glad to transmit the communication which you spoke of to the Department of State, so that it may be held there pending your arrival in America.
A young man just arrived here from Bordeaux on the French ship “Chicago”, told me that among the passengers were the Chicago Grand Opera Company, which gave some interesting concerts during the voyage.
With best wishes, I remain,
Yours very truly
(signed), P. A. Stovall --
American Minister.
Zurich - April 22 1918

Relating to your letter of March 23rd and bearing in mind President Wilsons definition of “victory,” and certain passages in his recent Baltimore address, I want to ask if you will send in code at my expense the following cable:
“President Woodrow Wilson

Washington
Upon the justification of a note from Colonel House, I have received a message to carry in person to be delivered to you alone, if you desire to receive it. Please cable me if I may come. - Respectfully Harold F: McCormick”
Trusting you may accord me the above privalege,
I am,
Very Sincerely Yours,
