Woodrow Wilson to Edwin Y. Webb

I am taking the liberty of sending you enclosed a suggestion for a Joint Resolution which I think of capital importance and of immediate necessity. I hope that you will think it of as much consequence as I do, and I sincerely hope that its early passage will be possible. Just now our relation to the Germany ships which are in our custody is a very anomalous one and I think the public opinion of the country would justify the action I am suggesting.
I hope that in sending you suggestions of this sort in this way I am acting in the way that is agreeable to you. I, of course, hold myself ready to have a personal conference upon any matter of this sort at any time and hope that you will indicate your wishes to me if a personal conference should seem to you necessary and desirable.

Cordially and sincerely yours,

Woodrow Wilsonenc.


Hon. Edwin Y. Webb,
House of Representatives.
