[For] Willard:

Our Ambassador has arranged with Ministry matter my acting as adviser all railways with promise quick cooperation. This is satisfactory and I am proceeding at once accordingly. Send me as quickly as you possibly can three first-class operating men with general mechanical knowledge to act as assistants. Arrange for their salaries and expenses as I have not funds for heavy expenditures. I have telegraphed Miller your suggestion as to his work on Siberian Railway.

Stevens
