The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan)
3. Your No. 4, January 17, 1 p.m.98 You will please say to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and if necessary to the President, that as I am leaving office on March 4, it would be very gratifying to me should it be possible to settle the boundary question with Colombia before that time.
[Page 438]While this Government is acting as a means of communication between interested parties, it is a medium of communication which is also profoundly interested in a just and prompt settlement. Please endeavor to have the matter given prompt consideration.
