1099. My 893, February 24th, 10 p.m. Telegram from Bullitt states he expects to reach Petrograd 9th instant. He adds: “I have reason to feel certain that I shall have definite propositions from the Soviet Government to transmit within a week or ten days.” To avoid any misapprehension I handed brief memorandum to Balfour and Pichon this afternoon informing them that Bullitt is proceeding to Petrograd for information purposes solely.
