File No. 861.51/148

The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury ( Crosby ) to the Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Secretary: Enclosed is a revised copy of the cablegram suggested to be forwarded to Ambassador Francis at Petrograd concerning the credit of $100,000,000 established in behalf of the Russian Government.1

[Page 74]

I wish particularly to call your attention to the use of the expression “and our Allies” on page 3 of the cable, third line from the bottom. There is some question in my mind as to the use of this expression, a question which you alone, Mr. Secretary, can decide.

With much respect [etc.]

Oscar T. Crosby
