Sir: With reference to my telegram No. 342 of April 5, 7 p.m.28 on the above subject, I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of the communication mentioned therein which was addressed to me by the Acting Minister on April 10, 1945.29

The Department will note that the Acting Minister, while expressing the warm gratitude of the Greek Government for evidence already given of American interest, and assuring the United States Government that everything possible is being done to ascertain the true extent of the damage caused to Greece by the Bulgarian occupation, in effect solicits the continued help of the United States Government to secure a prompt reply from the Soviet Government in connection [Page 191] with the question of Greece’s representation to the Allied Control Commission in Bulgaria.

Respectfully yours,
