Second Assistant Secretary of State Adee updates William Loeb on the appointment of Wu Tingfang as China’s Ambassador to the United States. The Chinese Foreign Office has not asked the American government for an opinion on the appointment. Adee sees no harm in waiting for First Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon to return before addressing the matter. Adee informs Loeb that the Chinese objected to the appointment of Henry W. Blair and he was recalled to Washington.
