The Secretary of State to Special Agent Carothers

[Telegram]

Department of State,
Washington, January 12, 1915.

You will travel with Villa until we can find someone to take your place, a difficult task, owing to the limited number of persons possessing the requisite qualifications, namely, loyalty to the administration, having the friendship of Villa and a knowledge of the Spanish language. Keep us fully informed as to progress of events.
