File No. 841.731/1011

The Ambassador in Great Britain (Page) to the Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Lansing: Referring to your personal letter of September 10 about presenting more stopped cables and asking the cause of their detention, I am sorry to tell you that the Foreign Office informed me soon after I presented the last package of them in accordance with your instructions, that they had never undertaken or agreed to give the reasons why these telegrams were stopped.

This, of course, is a refusal of our request and I have heard nothing more about the telegrams that I presented to them.

Yours sincerely,

Walter H. Page
