File No. 763.72/2661
The Ambassador in Germany (Gerard) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 8, 6.30 p. m.]
3857. Your 2976.2 The circular in question came to me at Headquarters en clair on Saturday, April 29. I sent telegram which came through the Foreign Office to the Chancellor in order that he might take a copy. Later the Chancellor asked Grew to try to punctuate and correct both the original telegram and his copy. The Chancellor [Page 264] asked if Foreign Office had a copy. His adjutant and son-in-law, Count Zech, went out of room to telephone and returned saying Foreign Office had a copy.
