Washington, D. C.
September 25th, 1914.
I saw the article which was headed "By the Presidential Con-
fidential Adviser". It was a very violent and unreasonable, I
should say ungentlemanly, attack on Sir Edward Grey whom the author <add>Beyond Hale</add>
had met while staying at the United States Embassy. I saw it and
spoke to Mr. Phillips. I thought for the moment that I would ask
for some denial that the author had anything to do with the Presi-
dent but it seemed rather as if the remark coming after Carden's
interview partook of the nature of a <sic>tu</sic> <sic>quoque</sic>. But it will be at
once apparent that should there be a controversy on the subject,
the reasoned, studied and deliberate abuse, in a written article,
of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, prepared and published by the
guest and business associate of the United States Ambassador and
the intimate confidant of the President, who has been, as is known,
employed on a mission of the first importance, is not a matter
which can be lightly passed over. I have, as explained above, not
made it the subject of an official or unofficial communication to
the State Department except the conversation with my friend Phillips.
Letter from,
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
To E. M. House.
