File No. 711.5914/83
Minister Egan to the Secretary of State
Copenhagen, August 8, 1916, 6 p.m.
291. Your 141, August 5, 1 p.m. Foreign Office informs me that there are no documents setting forth more definitely the rights of the West India Company than the two letters of January 18, 1913, and April 16, 1913. These contain all concessions to the West India Company, vague as they are. Have just received letters of October 2, 1912, October 11, 1912, October 14, 1912, with acknowledgment of concession. Will translate and cable at once though they are of no value, the concession having been annulled.
