Mr. Jackson to Mr. Hay.
Berlin, September 22, 1900.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt this morning of the Department’s telegram in regard to Chinese matters, the text of which is appended hereto,1 and to inform you that I at once communicated the contents of the same (in to to) to Baron von Richthofen, Count Bülow still being absent from Berlin.
After my interview I sent you a telegram, paraphrased as follows:
(Department’s telegram of yesterday has been communicated to the foreign office. In regard to point one of Russian memorandum, Germany has already replied in principle, indicating that she has no objection to withdrawing her legation to Tientsin. As far as known no legation has yet left Pekin. Points two and three of the Russian memorandum, are covered by German circular of the 17th; which may also be regarded as answer to Chinese propositions.)
I have the honor to be, etc.,
