File No. 812.00/17552.
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador of Argentina
Washington, September 7, 1915.
My dear Mr. Ambassador: I received your letter of yesterday informing me [etc.]
I think you are right that the time agreed upon for receiving answers from Mexico will expire within a very few days, but at the same time I feel that Carranza should be given every opportunity [Page 746] to reply to our communication in order that he may have no excuse that we acted hastily.
I believe that we shall receive his answer in a very few days, although it may be delayed possibly until the end of this week. As soon as I can state anything positively I will communicate with you at once.
With warm regard [etc.]
