With reference to our conversation this morning, I am enclosing herewith a paraphrase of the telegram from the British Minister at Berne, which I mentioned to you.
May I ask you to be good enough to treat this telegram as communicated solely for the information of the President, and of yourself.
Believe me, my dear Mr. Secretary,
Yours very truly,
Colville Barclay
