Washington, Feb. 12, 1920.
 "My Dear MT. President:
 "I wish to thank you sincerely for your candid letter of the 11th, in which you state that my resignation would be acceptable to you. since it relieves me of the responsibility for action which I have been contem- plating and which I can now take without hesitation as it meets your wishes.
 q have the honor, therefore, to tender you my resignation as secre- tary of state, the same to take ef- feet at your convenience.
 "In thus severing our official as sociation I feel, MT. President, that should make the following state ment which I had prepared recently and which will show you that have not been unmindful that the contin- uance of our present relations was impossible and that realized that it was clearly my duty to bring them to an end at the earliest moment compatible with the public interest "Ever since January, 1919. I have been conscious of the fact that you no longer were disposed to welcome my advice in matters pertaining to the negotiations in Paris, to foreign service, or to international affairs in general. Holding these views. l would. if I had consulted my per- sonal inclination alone, have resigned as secretary of state and as com missioner to negotiate peace. l felt.
 however, that such a step might have been misinterpreted both at home and abroad and that it was my duty to cause YOU no embarrass- ment in carrying forward the great task in which you were then engaged Possibly I erred in this. but if did lit was with the best of motives.
 When I returned to Washington in the latter part of July, 1919, my personal wish to resign had not changed, but again I felt that loyalty to you and my duty to the admins traitor compelled me to defer act ion as my resignation might nave been misconstrued into hostility to the ratification of the treaty or peace or at least into disapnroval of your views as to the form of rati- fications. I therefore remained ST. lent, avoiding any comment on the freuuent reports that we were nor in full agreement. Subsequentlv: your serious illness, during which have never seen you. imposed upon me the duty-at least, construed 1t to be my duty-to remain in charge of the department of state until your health permitted you to assume again full direction of foreign affairs.
