The Secretary of State to Consul Edwards

[Telegram]

Department of State,
Washington, April 25, 1916, 6 p.m.

Department informed General Obregon is coming to border to meet General Scott. If Obregon arrives at Juarez inform Department and General Scott at once. Get in touch with General Obregon, if possible, and do all you can to arrange for interview as promptly as possible. If neither General Scott or General Funston are there when he arrives explain that their absence is due to the fact of not knowing his plans.
