In answer to the telegram I had sent him, the Minister of Foreign Affairs authorizes me to give your excellency the assurance you desired, namely, that the French authorities concerned, would, if required, take the necessary measures to prevent any of the French citizens concerned becoming a public charge in the United States.
Be pleased to accept [etc.]
