The Adjutant General to General Funston

[Telegram]

War Department,
Washington, June 22, 1916.

1541. Your number 1716 received. Clearly General Pershing has not yet had any direct report from commanding officers of troops involved in Carrizal fight. The Secretary of War approves your suggestion that no direction should be given to General Pershing to make the moves which he recommends until official report is received and transmitted here and action authorized from here.
