Mrs. Stroud goes to Washington sometime before 8 November 1918, to meet with Mrs. Wilson in lieu of the President, who, as Gaddis' narration states, was suffering from a grave illness. Mrs. Stroud says, "They've turned on your husband in his fight for peace." The references are to Woodrow Wilson's massive stroke and resultant infirmity, and his fight with the Senate regarding the Treaty of Versailles. All of that happened in 1919 and 1920.
