WASHINGTON, D. C, February 19, 1926.

Mr. GARRARD B. WINSTON,

Undersecretary of the Treasury,

Washington, D. C.

DEAR MR. WINSTON:

Since columns 2 and 3 of the said list contain the ships seized in Panama and Cuba, I deducted the respective amounts … from the total of the first column … as quoted in my letter of December 30, 1925.

In the meantime I was informed that the ships seized in Panama as well as in Cuba hadbeen turned over to the United States and used by it, and therefore might fall within the agreement.

Very truly yours,

(Signed) J. W. KIESSELBACH.
