About MeSingle sheet of plain paper with typed text from the National City Bank of New York to the Union Bank of Scotland. States that New York branch has no records of the Petrograd office but that former members of the Petrograd staff do not remember the transaction and that it was ordered after the seizure of the Russian Banks by the Bolshevists so they doubt it was ever effected.
