The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Nicholson)

43. We are of course greatly interested in learning of the results of President Somoza’s discussions with the President of Honduras regarding the boundary situation. If you have not already done so, kindly take an early opportunity to inquire informally of President Somoza and submit a telegraphic report.

This telegram is being repeated to Tegucigalpa with the following additional paragraph:

“Although I question whether it would be desirable to seek an interview with President Carias for the purpose of inquiring along the foregoing lines, the Department would appreciate a report by telegraph on any results of the meeting which you can discreetly obtain.”
