My dear Mr. President:

The Russian Ambassador has asked me to ascertain
for him whether you are likely to appoint an Ambassador
to Russia soon. He wants to make a trip to Russia, but
would rather remain here until the appointment is made,
if you intend to make it soon. Have you reached any
decision in the matter that I could communicate to him?

With assurances of high respect. I am my dear
Mr. President,

Very sincerely yours,

W. J. Bryan

The President,
The White House.
