“July 29th, 2 p.m. Your July 28th, 4 p.m. President of Nicaragua stated to me that he suggested that President of Honduras select one of his most reliable military chiefs with 50 men to cooperate with Nicaraguan military chief and 50 men on the border to end revolutionary invasions by Honduranean exiles. After that these [Page 869] chiefs be permitted to enter either Nicaragua or Honduras as occasion may require. Inform President of Honduras that President Chamorro is in best disposition to bring about end of these invasions.

I desire that President Honduras continue to advise me of his intentions and movements thus enabling me to better cope with the situation. This also sent to the Department.”
