I have an original document from 1913, given by the USA Department of State, that is 11.5" X 17".
It says: United State of America Department of State To all to whom these presents shall come, Greeting: I, the undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States of America do hereby request all whom it may concern to permit _Hugo Kreitzberg_ a Citizen of the United States safely and freely to pass and in case of need to give _him_ all lawful Aid and Protection. It then goes on the give the date & the signature of the Secretary of State as well as a description of Hugo Kreitzberg, the number of the form (10701) and the message at the top that it is good for two years from date given. There is an official seal impressed on it. But...nowhere does it say what this form is...I have searched for "visa", "safe passage", "travel document" using the date, the form number and anything else I can think of...what is this form called? He applied for a passport on the same day. Has anyone come across one of these before & if so, how did you source it? Thank you for any & all help.
