The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Ramer)
30. Your March 17, 4 p.m.5 You may inquire of the Nicaraguan Government whether it would have any objection to the detail of four [Page 490] Marines in civilian clothes to assist Dodds at Chinandega next Sunday, pointing out that the Nicaraguan Government’s note of December 13 last6 indicated that it would approve of the appointment of members of the Marine detachment as assistants to Dodds, should that prove necessary. If the Nicaraguan Government has no objection to this arrangement, you may ask the Commander of the Legation guard to detail four men of tact and discretion, with a good knowledge of Spanish, to work under Dodds’ direction on Sunday next.
The Department assumes from your transmission of Dodds’ request without comment that you approve of the same.
