File No. 861.00/1276
The Secretary of State to the French Ambassador (Jusserand)
Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of March 6, 1918, advising me that your Government has received, with the request that its contents be made known to the several governments, including that of the United States, a telegram, dated at Kishinev., announcing the constitution of the “Moldavian Republic.”
In reply I have the honor to say that the question seems to be one the consideration of which should be deferred owing to the unsettled conditions which now exist.
Accept [etc.]
