The Secretary of State to Special Agent West.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 22, 1915.

Please say to Zapata that the President cannot consistently receive a delegation from Zapata. He has not received a delegation from any of the contending factions in Mexico. You are at liberty to bring such a statement of their views as they desire to present; or I, as Secretary of State, shall be pleased to receive them and hear any representations which they desire to make.

Bryan.
