[Telegram—Extract]

American Embassy,
Mexico City, September 11, 1917, 11 p.m.

432. President Carranza informs me that General Gonzalez has telegraphed him from Laredo that all cartridges released by us have been sent from San Antonio to Laredo. He therefore requests that appropriate orders be given authorities at Laredo to pass entire consignment and it will be cheaper and more convenient to receive them all at Laredo and make distribution from this side than to follow arrangement originally provisioned in my 357.² Please reply.

Fletcher
