September 5, 1915 (delayed by the censor)
Tonight at a dinner at Windsor Castle, King George V "proposed the health of President Wilson."
"It will, I think, be an everlasting test of the wisdom and good sense of the American people that in the most trying and difficult cirumstances they stood loyally united behind President Wilson. Mr. Wilson's action throughout the period of difficulty has justified the faith and confidence of the American people."
This toast to the American president was the first ever by a British sovereign. Queen Mary has been "signally polite to American women," and there have been "several enterntainments at Buckingham Palace in the last few months at which the only women present were Americans."
