My dear McNab:
There are undoubtedly cogent arguments why I should not go abroad, and the whole matter has caused me a great deal of anxious arguing with myself, but on the whole I do not see how I can escape going, even if I remain only a portion of the time that the conference will be in session.
I wish you would make me a memorandum of the reasons you think were influential in our defeat at the elections. I have come to value your judgments very highly indeed.
In haste, with warmest regard,
Sincerely yours,
[Woodrow Wilson]
Mr. Gavin McNab,
The Shoreham Hotel,
Washington, DC
