The Secretary of State to the Consul at Arica (Von Tresckow)

[Paraphrase]

For Lassiter. Message from Ambassador Collier indicates that Chile is now hesitating about accepting good offices. Under the circumstances it is imperative that you go ahead with registration today, if possible; if not, be prepared to continue at any moment. We shall keep you informed. I am still hopeful that our good offices will be accepted.
