Text
My dear Senator:
I thank you warmly for the note you dictated yesterday at the executive offices. I of course will always understand your spirit and intention in whatever you do, but of course I do agree with you that it is dangerous to have more than one official voice speaking in times like this with regard to our transactions with Germany, and I want to tell you how warmly I appreciate your thought in the matter.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
[Woodrow Wilson]
Hon. Key Pittman,
United States Senate.
