The Ambassador in Turkey (Steinhardt) to the Secretary of State

1562. Insofar as concerns Bulgaria’s desire to withdraw from the war the British Ambassador this morning informed me of the proposed terms which he said had already been communicated to the Department by London for which reason I am not telegraphing them. He said terms had not as yet been communicated to Moshanoff who he stated is at present in Ankara with full authority to negotiate on behalf of Bulgarian Government pending receipt by Hugessen of instructions containing final terms and information as to whether negotiations are to be conducted in Ankara or Cairo.
