95. We have exchanged notes as instructed in Department’s triple priority 44, August 6, 5 p.m. but Foreign Office reply dated the 8th agrees to the changes suggested on the assumption that the modifications in question “do not alter the regulation thereof nor the substantial character of the clauses stipulated”.
Ortiz says that he is almost certain he can have the date changed to the 6th or have the decree promulgating trade dated the 8th.
If this is done will above phraseology be acceptable?
