Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 6, 1904

Count Cassini to Mr. Adee.

[Telegram.—Translation.]

Russian Embassy,
Bar Harbor, Me., September 15, 1904.

I receive this very moment your telegram of the 14th. It is materially impossible to receive an answer from St. Petersburg today. I beg the President to allow a delay of forty-eight hours to permit me to receive instructions from my Government.

Cassini.
