The Acting Secretary of State to the Commission to Negotiate Peace
[Received July 17—3:30 p.m.]
2583. Your 3019, July 7th.69 Convey to those signing message to President the following reply from him.
“It moves me very deeply that you should so fully realize the heartfelt sympathy I feel for the cause of justice and particularly for the Nations which, because they are less strong than the strongest, have hitherto struggled with little hope for the realization of the highest and most legitimate ambitions. It gives me new courage and new pleasure in the work I am trying to do that you should hearten me with such a greeting.”
