Your no. 38, May 4, 4 p.m. In view of the information contained in your telegram you may desire to bring to the attention of [Page 386] the proper Albanian officials the Albanian Prime Minister’s letter of June 25, 1922, to Commissioner Blake, already referred to in the Department’s no. 11, March 8, 3 p.m., wherein the Prime Minister gave assurance that the Government of Albania was ready to accord every facility to American capital in Albania and to grant concessions to American firms.
