WILSON, Woodrow. Three typed letters signed ("Woodrow Wilson"), as President, to Grant Squires, Washington , 12 November 1918 and 20 November 1918 and Paris, 14 January 1919. Together 3 pages, 4to, two on White House stationery, one on letterhead of American Commission to Negotiate Peace, each with original envelope . [ With :] 9 November 1918 letter from Squires to Wilson. JUST BEFORE THE ARMISTICE, WILSON WORRIES ABOUT BOLSHEVIK VIOLENCE Two days before the Armistice, on 9 November 1918, Grant Squires tells President Wilson: "You spoke with a rare and true insight into the future, when you predicted to me a few weeks ago, of the dangers of Bolshevism likely to show themselves in this Country as well as abroad." Squires, who was Wilson's attorney, had gotten hold of an advance copy of a Communist paper, The Labor Defender , and forwarded it to Wilson with the comment: "its call to violence cannot fail to interest you." Wilson was duly alarmed, telling Squires on 12 November: "I have examined with painful interest the copy of 'The Labor Defender' which you have sent me...It will be very necessary to very watchful and united in the presence of such danger signals." Squires also promises to forward intelligence from a loyal Russian immigrant, who was spying on the radical groups. Wilson responds to further reports from Squires (not included here) in his 20 November and 14 January letters, calling the intelligence "as interesting as it is disturbing." The last letter is written from Paris, where Wilson had gone to mediate a peace treaty among the battered and exhausted powers of Europe. This marked the first time a sitting U. S. President had traveled to Europe, and his labors at the conference would win him the Nobel Peace Prize for 1920. Wilson's fears of Bolshevism would only intensify over the course of 1919, and later that year he would join with other Allied powers in sending troops to try (unsuccessfully) to remove the Lenin regime by force. A gripping correspondence from the most momentous chapter of Wilson's presidency. Together four items . (4)
