Edinburgh, 4 September

Mr Stammer,

Berlin

As I have just been informed, large numbers of Russian troops were landed in Aberdeen on 2 September and transported south by rail. Acquaintances of mine certainly saw Russians (military) travelling through Carlisle. The carriage windows were covered. I am travelling there (Aberdeen) myself tomorrow.
