Dear Mr. Crosby: In reply to your letter of May 17, I beg to advise you that the telegram enclosed therewith relative to the establishment in the United States of a Russian credit, has been forwarded to the American Ambassador at Petrograd.1
The expression on page 3 of the telegram, referred to in the second paragraph of your letter, namely, “and our Allies,” was changed to read “and the Allies.”
Sincerely yours,
