The French Ambassador (Jusserand) to the Secretary of State
Sir: By a note of November 13, 1919, I had the honor of stating to the Honorable Robert Lansing the grounds upon which my Government held that the protocol of arbitration signed September 10, 1913, by the Government of the Republic and the Haitian Republic was still regarded as valid by it.
I should be thankful to Your Excellency if you would kindly let me know whether the Government of the United States does, as my Government thinks it will, share its view on this point and others touched upon in that same note.
Be pleased [etc.]
