Paris
, November
19, 1918.
18. I am delighted to receive your number 16.14 I am confident that everything will now work out satisfactorily. You will probably be made Honorary President of the Congress and the French Prime Minister Acting President.
I am arranging with Pershing to have our army engineers make an approximate estimate of the damage done in Belgium and France.15
