File No. 861.77/208
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Russia (Francis)
1829. For Stevens [from Willard]:
Referring your two cables November 4 will send eight more units if necessary. Do not want to send more than you absolutely need. Miller left Vladivostok before could reach him. I will see Emerson before he sails and will try to arrange so it will not be necessary for you to meet him at Vladivostok. How would George Slade suit you for one of operating men referred to in your last cable? Think he would go for few months. Congratulations upon gratifying results you are obtaining.
