File No. 763.72119/1449
The Acting Secretary of State to the Rumanian Minister ( Angelescu)
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of March 7, 1918, in which you bring to my attention the grave situation which has confronted Roumania and forced the Roumanian Government to enter into negotiations with the Central Powers.
This Government understands the circumstances which have forced Roumania to negotiate with the Central Powers and has already telegraphed to the American Minister at Jassy and at the same time communicated to the French Government the assurances which it desired to have conveyed to the Roumanian Government.
Accept [etc.]
