The Alternate Chairman of the International Committee of Bankers on Mexico (T. Cochran) to the Secretary of State

Dear Sir: In Mr. Lamont’s absence I beg to advise you that Mr. de la Huerta, the Mexican Minister of Finance, has notified us that he, together with his associates, will come to New York for conferences with this Committee, beginning June 2nd. We have further been advised that Mr. de la Huerta will leave Mexico for the United States on May 21st.

Mr. Lamont expects to sail from England on May 24th. He will be accompanied by representatives of the British and French Sections of the International Committee, who are coining for the purpose of attending the conferences with Mr. de la Huerta.

With great respect [etc.]

Thomas Cochran
