The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France ( Wallace )

[Paraphrase]

568. For Rathbone from Davis. Treasury R–279.

1.
Within a few days, Roland W. Boyden, a Boston attorney, will sail and after his arrival will relieve you of Reparation work as soon as you can transfer it to him. I am sorry it has not been possible sooner to make arrangements for some one to substitute for you. It was considered inadvisable for me to leave Washington until further developments make it possible for us to define our permanent relation to the situation in Paris.
2.
It is contemplated that at least for the present Bayne will continue on the Committee of Jurists as unofficial American representative.
