The British Ambassador (Lindsay) to the Secretary of State
My Dear Mr. Secretary: On August 22nd last my predecessor left at the Department of State an aide-memoire on the subject of the draft convention on oil pollution stating that the Embassy had received instructions to enquire whether the United States Government, if officially approached, would be disposed to exert their good offices on behalf of the draft convention with the other governments interested. A copy of this aide-memoire is enclosed for convenience of reference.82
As we do not appear to have any record of a reply to this enquiry and as my government have again intimated that they would be glad of one at an early date, I should be grateful for an answer in the near future.
Believe me [etc.]
