Dear Mr. Secretary,
 
      I enclose herein the text of a message for the German Chancellor, 
      which was sent on the afternoon of August 30th to His Majesty's 
      Ambassador in Berlin with instructions that he should not deliver 
      it pending a further communication from London.
 
      
 
 
I also enclose the text of a telegram sent the same time to 
      His Majesty's Ambassador in Warsaw. He too was informed that 
      no action should be taken on this telegram pending further instructions.
 
      
 
 
Believe me,
 
      Dear Mr. Secretary,
 
      Yours very sincerely,
 
      (SGD) LOTHIAN
 
      
 
 
The Honorable
 
      Cordell Hull,
 
      Secretary of State of the United States,
 
      Washington, D.C
