The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt)

[Paraphrase]

82. For Stimson: Your telegram number 120 dated May 2, 11 a.m. Our attitude on this subject has not changed since conference with you at Washington. Penultimate sentence in Department’s telegram number 80, dated April 30, 1927, noon, was intended merely to increase your discretionary authority in case you should determine after an investigation on the ground that the withdrawal of Diaz in favor of another person might be worthy of consideration.
