Fort Worth,
December 26, 1913.
General Villa received me very cordially and signified his intention of extending leniency to Spaniards in future. He is now operating against Federals towards Ojinaga and Torreón. While I was there a very important conference was held between Villa and two Carranza emissaries which was communicated to me. Villa will be in Juárez on twenty-eighth.
