The Secretary of State to the Minister in Egypt (Fish)
77. Department’s 45, August 10, 6 p.m. Instruction with commission and letter of credence will go forward by pouch on December 8.
You should communicate to the appropriate official of the Saudi Arabian Government the fact of your appointment requesting designation of the time and place for presentation of your letter of credence.
In view of the fact that only one secretary is at present assigned to the Legation the Department considers that it might be desirable to designate Farrell to proceed with you. Please telegraph the Department whether you may have some alternative suggestion to offer and whether, in the event Farrell is designated, you may also have need of the services of an interpreter. The Department presumes you will wish in any event to be accompanied by a kavass.
