The Guatemalan Government offers to our influential American citizen, Daniel B. Hodgsdon, long-time resident of Guatemala, the position of custodian of alien properties, and he has asked my advice. Would the Department approve my advising him to accept? The appointment would be most desirable. Please advise as soon as you can.
Leavell
