File No. 300.115/11026

The Acting Foreign Trade Adviser of the Department of State (Letcher) to Mr. A. W. Faber

Washington, December 19, 1916 .

Sir: The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of December 15, 1916, in which you make inquiry concerning the results obtained by Mr. Wyvell while in England endeavoring to obtain permits from the British authorities to ship goods of German origin.¹

In reply I beg to advise you that only one case presented by Mr. Wyvell, namely, the case of the Harrison Glove Company, was granted. All other cases were either rejected or consideration thereof refused.

I regret, therefore, that I can do nothing further to assist you in the premises.

Very truly yours,

Marion Letcher
