The American Ambassador to an Official of the Czechoslovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs PRAGtE, July 25, 1947. DEAR DR. BySTRICKf, Settlements. In connection with the agreement signed today between our two governments for the settlement of certain war accounts, I wish to in- form you more specifically that a total of 5,639,174 crowns, now repre- sented in the dollar accounts of U.

Army to the Independent Czech Brigade of 7,322,935 Czech crowns /$146,- 458.70/ for expenditure purposes by that unit is assumed as an obliga- tion of the Czechoslovak government to the United States Army and is accordingly settled under the terms of settlement in paragraph one of today's agreement.
