The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Egypt ( Fish )

43. Tour 67, November 27, 1 p.m. Department is still corresponding with possible candidates and hopes to submit list in near future, possibly next week.

In the event Hill is not included in list of candidates, do you consider that Egyptian authorities are likely to put forward his name as counterproposal, as intimated by Judge Booth (see page 5, Legation’s despatch 800, October 1518)?
