Department of State,
Washington, August 22, 1916.

Your telegram August 22. Is the amount of 110,902.16 kroner in addition to the sum of 79,671.61 kroner? Am I to understand that the former amount is owed to the Danish Government by the Government of the Danish West Indies, and that it is on deposit in the islands? If so, I understand that the Danish West Indies is debtor to the Danish Government in the sum of these two amounts.

Robert Lansing
