The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (Davis) to the Assistant Secretary of State (Phillips)

Dear Mr. Phillips: I am sorry to say that it was impossible for me to take up with the Secretary this afternoon the questions raised in the letter from the Secretary of State to the Secretary of the Treasury which you handed me today. I shall, however, take this up at the beginning of next week, but in the meantime would be pleased to have you inform me just what commitments the State Department made in respect to Liberia which would concern England and France, other than the payment of the obligations held by their nationals.

Very cordially yours,

Norman H. Davis
