The Facebook page of the our Embassy to the Holy See is often more interesting and updated a tad more often then the offical web page. Our Embassy takes note over at Face book of an interesting point of American History. That is when the Successor of Peter Benedict XVmet in person the President of the United States for the first time.

See this link and especially this link .

At that last link ( in case they decide to take facebook down and to keep track of the documents links) :

President Wilson’s physician Cary T. Grayson accompanied the President on all of his trips and kept a diary of the activities.
