Text

Governor Hiram Johnson,
Sacramento, Cal.

Thank you for your patriotic telegram. We find it so difficult from this distance to understand fully the situation with regard to the sentiments and circumstances lying back of the pending proposition concerning the ownership of land in theState that I venture to inquire whether it would be agreeable to you and the Legislature to have the Secretary of State visit Sacramento for the purpose of counseling with you and the members of the Legislature and cooperating with you and them in the framing of a law which would meet the views of the people of theState and yet leave untouched the international obligations of the United States.

Woodrow Wilson.
