The French Ambassador to the Secretary of State.

French Embassy,
Washington, June 5, 1907.

My Dear Mr. Secretary: Referring to our previous conversations and to your letter of April 8, I beg to inform you that my Government has just sent me a draft, to my order, of 30,000 francs, on the French public treasury, this sum being destined for the family of the late Lieutenant England.

I inclose herewith said draft, which I have passed to your order, and I should be much obliged to you to be so good as to cause it or its equivalent to be handed to the England family.

You will find also herewith a receipt, in duplicate, which should be signed by the interested parties and returned to me as soon as possible, to be forwarded to my Government.

I am, etc.,

Jusserand.
