This morning I received the following cable from Mr.
McClure3, who is in London4:
"Can Kennan sail next week have
arranged Russian
matter his com-
pensation to come out of book."
You know as much about the "Russian matter" as I do. I have heard nothing from the
Chief about it since the letter which I forwarded to you a few weeks ago. This
cable, of course, is not very clear. I do not clearly understand about the book, or
who is to publish it. Mr. Mackenzie5 says he
thinks the Chief means that the Magazine6 is to pay
your passage over and back, and that the rest of your compensation will come out of
the book arrangements. You will probably feel that this leaves the thing a good deal
in the air, so if you will draft a cable stating your terms, or asking Mr. McClure
more definite questions, I will be glad to send it for you. If you could telephone
me
