The Vice Consul at Viborg (Imbrie) to the Secretary of State

Viborg, August 7, 1919.
[Received August 8, 1:10 a.m.]

73. Three British ships are now unloading artillery, tanks and other munitions at Reval for the use of the Russian White forces in Estonia. September 1st has been set as a tentative date when the Russian Whites, with the support of the British Baltic Fleet, will attempt a drive against Petrograd. If this drive is unsuccessful the Whites have no hope of occupying the city before summer of 1920. At present Bolsheviks have the advantage on this front and have just recaptured [Yamburg?].
