The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy)
1085. Minister Sterling at Stockholm has telegraphed us that he has informed you of the desire of Boheman, head of the Swedish delegation shortly arriving in London, to keep in touch with you during the progress of his discussions of trade and shipping relations with Great Britain. The questions involved in the maintenance and control of trade between the belligerents and the Scandinavian countries are of great interest to us and we are anxious to be kept fully and promptly informed in detail of all developments both from the British point of view as well as from that of Sweden or other neutral country concerned. You may assure Boheman and any British official with whom you may talk in this connection that any information they may be willing to impart will of course be held by us in the strictest confidence.
