Memorandum
General Miller, Russian Army, Commander in Chief at Archangel, cabled on September 11th to the Russian Ambassador at Washington to the following effect: The people of Archangel are anxious to send a delegation to the United States with the purpose of finding volunteers among the Russians residing in this country as well as among the American citizens, who would like to go to the Northern Front, which is very much weakened on account of the withdrawal of all the allied troops, and to fight the bolsheviki.
General Miller would like to be informed, whether such a recruiting could be successful and whether the sending of the above mentioned delegation would be advisable.
