American Consul General at Mukden87 reports however that his British colleague informed him that advices from his Embassy [at] Tokyo indicate British Embassy proposes to make similar representations in line with our suggestion. Myers expresses belief that similar representations by American Embassy had become desirable.

Repeated to Tokyo.
