Letter of apology for the omission of the Andersons from the arrangements for welcoming the King of the Belgians, the Vice President assures Larz that he had nothing to do with the arrangements and if he had the Andersons would have been in the party.
A typed caption included with the letter reads "Mrs. Marshall also telephone to IA and asked if IA and LA would accept invitation to banquet to be given by the Vice President in honor of Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians (the only unofficial people invited except Mrs. Walsh in whose house the banquet was given) but owing to deep mourning IA and LA were prevented from accepting."
Marshall opens the note saying, "You will pardon the lateness of this note when you remember the multitude of small matters which infest my days." President Woodrow Wilson had suffered a sever stroke eleven days prior to the note, leaving Vice President Marshall in a state of uncertainty while the President's health was in question.
