1209. Your 2185, December 7, noon.1 For Anderson from Harrison:
Your No. 81 received. Hope instructions my telegram December 7, 5 p.m.,2 reached you before your departure for Vienna. Can not understand your failure to comply with definite instructions given you before your departure that you were not to enter enemy territory without explicit permission. Should you have made trip you will make it clear to member of staff of Austrian Legation mentioned in your cablegram No. 73 that you visited Vienna without consent and against the wishes of American authorities and explain that you acted entirely on your own initiative.
Upon receipt of this telegram you will proceed immediately through France to London, report your arrival and await further instructions there.
