The Ambassador in Great Britain ( Dawes ) to the Secretary of State

249. Answering your 230, August 28, midnight. I called this morning at the Foreign Office, requesting as directed that suitable measures be taken for the protection of the American consulate general at Jerusalem at the earliest possible date. The Foreign Office stated that it would at once ask the Colonial Governor to telegraph Jerusalem to report to them and to comply with the request contained in your No. 230 if possible. Will cable you again on receipt of word from the Foreign Office which they will give on reply to their telegram to Jerusalem.

Dawes
