American Legation,
Monrovia, July 31, 1912.

Department’s July 19. Under bank agreement, Erlanger’s interest for current quarter will be advanced to Sharp August 15 for immediate transmission. Clark urges that bankers arrange with Erlanger to hold advance here, or, failing this, he be permitted to offset payment against interest on new loan.
