My dear Mr. Strong:
In reply to your letter of the 10th of January, I beg to say that I think the best course will be for you to bring with you when you come to Washington three small photographs of yourself, about 3” x 3”, and go direct to the Citizenship Bureau of this Department and have your passport issued. Inasmuch as you are going to London and Paris, both cities being in ally territory, you will encounter no difficulty in obtaining a passport. I am having a suitable letter of introduction issued in you behalf to the Diplomatic and Consular Officers of the United States and will send you also personal letters of my own to our Consul at Liverpool and to the Amabssador and Consul General in Paris. I take it that you know our Embassy in London sufficiently to make letters of introduction unenecessary.
If by any chance you should fail to come to Washington you can get your passport at No. 2 Rector Street where we have a Special Agent of this Department stationed.
Hoping to see you when you come to Washington and with all good wishes, I am,
