The Secretary of State to the Chargé in France (Wilson)

No. 1170

Sir: The Department has received the Embassy’s despatch No. 2881 of August 31, 1938, relative to the information regarding French nationality laws and military service requirements to be used in the pamphlet entitled Notice to Bearers of Passports.

The paragraph to be incorporated in the pamphlet has been revised and it is believed that it now covers the points raised in the despatch and its enclosure. However, in order that there may be no misunderstanding, a copy of the proposed revision89 is enclosed for your examination. The Department would appreciate being informed as soon as possible whether the paragraph now corresponds with your understanding of the matter.

Very truly yours,

For the Secretary of State:
G. S. Messersmith
