The Chief of the British Special Mission ( Balfour) to the Secretary of State
Washington,
May 5, 1917.
Dear Mr. Secretary: The Chancellor of the Exchequer asks me to convey to you the warmest thanks of His Majesty’s Government for the generous financial aid afforded by the United States Government. His Majesty’s Government are most appreciative of the promptitude with which Mr. McAdoo has met the immediate financial obligations which they had undertaken in the United States on behalf of the Allies.
May I add a cordial expression of my own gratitude?
Yours very sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour
