[Paraphrase]

29. The following cable dated December 27, 10 a.m. from Panama is sent for your information.

[Here follows text of telegram printed in paraphrase, supra.]

Endeavor to find out whether Costa Rica has accepted counterproposal of Fabrega for rectification of the boundary or has agreed to put off further negotiations until May. If Costa Rica has agreed to a postponement until May it is important that you secure, if possible, a statement to that effect, in the form of a note or memorandum from the Foreign Minister.
