The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Peru (Poindexter)
9. Your 10, undated [March 1, 10 p.m.]. Peruvian Ambassador has received instructions from his Government merely stating that President of Peru had explained to you why it was impossible for him to change his opinion regarding the withdrawal of his first objection. Nothing was said about the second objection nor regarding the substitution for his third objection of the text transmitted in the third paragraph of your telegram.
[Paraphrase.] If instructions are sent as outlined in your No. 10, the Department will be able to obtain the consent of Brazil and Colombia. Do not mention this at present to the Peruvian Government but endeavor to have it send instructions authorizing the substitute statement of the Peruvian Ambassador. [End paraphrase.]
