With reference to my letter of August 28th last (II.F.Abr.I596), I have the honour to transmit herewith the information on Germany's expenditure on armaments asked for, in pursuance of the Council's resolution of May 23rd last, in your letter (C.L.I24.I 9 3I.IX) of June I3th.

I would request that this letter may be regarded as supplementing my communication of August 28th last, and that it may be dealt with in the same way.
