Mr. Adee to Mr. Eddy.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, October 8, 1901.

(Mr. Adee directs Mr. Eddy not to relax his efforts with the Turkish Government, and to continue to enlist all possible cooperation of ambassadors to impress Bulgarian Government and strengthen the hands of the United States agent at Sofia, and states that neither the United States Government nor the missionary board have any responsibility regarding ransom; they simply do not obstruct private charity.)
