Published by 2 November On letterhead of the Embassy of the United States London, 1916
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged, with tissue labels from mount adhering to the reverse. Folded twice. Embossed letterhead with US seal. Salutation and valediction in Page's autograph, with addition of an exclamation mark. Addressed to 'Lady Lloyd, | 26, Great Cumberland Place, | W. | Enclosure.' He has had 'two moods' about the 'touching letter' that she is enclosing, but believes that 'the best thing to do is not to send it to Berlin'. He is acting 'upon this general theory: It really does not give any information that would be of direct help in finding the young officer, and the more documents there are in a case of this sort the more difficulty is there likely to be put in the way'. He states that the officer's 'whole name was sent in our request made to Berlin, and that, of course, has already been submitted to the German government'. He feels that he is 'right in this decision', and is sending the letter back. He concludes: 'What an infinitely touching letter it is! | Hoping that we hear some news.'.
