1614. Your 1864, September 23. This Government will of course not exercise the slightest influence on the action of Spain. If Spain, however, decides to enter into a state of war with Germany, the United States will naturally support and assist her in every practical way. The above is for your information and guidance and not for formal transmission to the Spanish Government.
