Confidential.
My dear Mr. Phelan:

Thank you for your telegram. I think I understand the gravity of the situation in California and I have never been inclined to criticize. I have only hoped that the doing of the thing might be so modulated and managed as to offend the susceptibilities of a friendly nation as little as possible.

In haste
Woodrow Wilson

Hon. James D. Phelan,
San Francisco, California.
