Lansing to Wilson.


THE secretary of state, February
10, 1920.
My Dear Mr.. President: | wish to
thank You sincerely for your candid
letter of the 18th, in which you state
that my resignation would he accept
able to you since II relieves me OF
the responsibility for action which 7
have been contemplating and which |
can now take without hesitation, as II
meets your wishes.
81 have the honor, therefore. to
tender you my resignation as secretary
of state, the same to take effect al
your convenience.
Ever since January, 1919, | 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 oul foreign
service or to International affairs in
general Holding the views, | would
If had consulted my personal inclina-
ton alone, have resigned as secretary
of state and as commissioner to
negotiate peace.
81 felt, however, that such step
might have been misinterpreted both
at home and abroad and that 1t was
my duty to cause you no embarrass-
ment in carrying forward the great
task in which you were then engaged.
Possibly, | erred in this, but if | did
it was with the best Of motives,
81 think, Mr.. President, in accord
ance with the frankness which has
marked this correspondence and for
which | am grateful to you, that |
cannot permit to pass unchallenged
the imputation that in calling into in
formal conference the heads of the
executive departments | sought to
usurp your presidential authority.
81 had no such intention, no such
thought | further believe that the
conferences were proper and necessary
IN the circumstances, and that I would
have been derelict in my duty If | had
failed to act as did.
81 need hardly add that | leave
the office of secretary of state with
only good will toward you, Mr.. Presi-
dent, and with a sense of profound re-
lief
Forgetting our differences and re-
membering only your many kindnesses
In the. past, have the honor to be,
Mr.. President,
ROBERT LANSING"

Before his death, Carter, who be-

SAID he was not permitted to leave

nights on herbs and berries and lived
ia caves while he was hunted by blood
hounds; how he finally made his way
% Fargo, Ark. where his parents re-
side. and how, supplied with money

Evansville.
When he was arrested here Carter
put up desperate fight with the police
