844. Your 462, May 23, noon. I delivered the President’s message to the Belgian Ambassador this morning. He informed me that he would transmit it at once to the Belgian Government; but that unfortunately he could not communicate it to King Leopold who was cut off with the French, Belgian, and British Armies now fighting on Belgian soil.
