839.00/2648: Telegram
President Harding to Provisional President Burgos51
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of October 30th, requesting that Mr. Welles’ Mission should not be terminated until the inauguration of the Constitutional President. I take this opportunity to assure you of my earnest wish to assist you and the Dominican people in any way possible. I understand that Mr. Welles will soon arrive in Washington and the Department of State will discuss with him the matter proposed by Your Excellency, and, in the event of his inability to return, the best means of carrying out the Plan signed by him and the gentlemen of the Dominican Commission.
