My dear Mr. Counselor:

I find that our party for Europe will consist, besides myself, of:

Mrs. Wilson
Miss Edith Benham, her Secretary
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson
Mr. George Creel
Mr. Gilbert F. Close
Irving H. Hoover,
seven secret service men, namely:
Joseph E. Murphy
Edmund W. Starling
John Q. Slye
William A. Lanboigt
John J. Fitzgerald
Walter G. Ferguson, and
John L. Sullivan;

Arthur Brooks, my personal attendant
Susie Booth, Mrs. Wilson’s maid.

Will you not be kind enough to see that the proper arrangements are made for passports? I may have one or two names to add later, but I think not.

Cordially and faithfully yours,

[Woodrow Wilson]


Hon. Frank L. Polk,
Counselor of the Department of State.
