Your telegram August 15 via Rome relative to German Hamburg-American boats now in New York just received. Will at once take up matter with British and French Governments. Would the German Government be willing to have other German boats here used under the same conditions to carry Americans from other Atlantic ports according to the needs of Americans abroad?
