Mr. Secretary of State: It appears from a telegram that I have just received from my government that the Sultan of Morocco has adopted the draft of programme which the Government of the Republic and the German Government had agreed to propose to him, and assents to the conference that is to take up the Moroccan affairs meeting at Algeciras.

By order of my government I have the honor to bring this intelligence to your excellency’s knowledge. I further append hereto, with reference to the conversation I had with you previously on the subject, the text of the protocol concerning the project under consideration, which was signed on September 28 by M. Rouvier and Prince Radolin.^a

Be pleased to accept, etc.,

Jusserand.
