File No. 861.51/283
The Counselor for the Department of State (Polk) to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (Leffingwell)
Washington, March 7,
1918.
My Dear Mr. Leffingwell: I have your letter of March 5, in regard to the disposal of Russian materials and funds and quite agree that any surplus funds available should be applied by the Russian Ambassador to payment of interest on Russian credits and obligations up to and including July 1, and any other obligations as they may come due, rather than setting aside a specific amount for payment on July 1 on the Remington rifle contracts.
I am [etc.]
Frank L.
Polk
