RECEIVED
November 16, 1916.
My dear Mr. Tumulty:
The Russian Embassy has brought to my attention the fact that Mr. Martin Itchas, Member of the Russian Douma, and President of the Central Lithuanian Committee, has expressed a desire to convey to the President the thanks of the Lithuanian Committee for his action in proclaiming the first day of November as a day on which money might be contributed especially for the relief of the Lithuanian People.
The Embassy, however, realizing that the President’s time is very much taken up just now does not make an official request for an audience for Mr. Itchas, but I venture to bring the matter to your attention so that, if the President desires to receive Mr. Itchas, he will kindly let me know the day and hour so that I may advise the Russian Embassy.
Sincerely yours,
William Phillips
Hon. Joseph P. Tumulty,
Secretary to the President,
The White House.
