Dear Captain Armstrong:
This morning I sent you a telegram, as shown by the enclosed confirmation.
On returning to New York I found a personal friend who was willing to make me a loan of two thousand dollars. This covers my pressing need in the matter which I placed before you. I am grateful for whatever efforts you may have made, irrespective of their success or failure.
In case the money I asked for has been already voted I shall, of course, return it at once, unless the Prime Minister considers that in view of the circumstances it is more appropriate that the money be used to cancel the above-mentioned personal loan.
Captain Armstrong, Prime Minister’s Office, Ottawa, Ontario.
