The Minister in Colombia ( Piles ) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

25. My 24, April 1, 11 a.m. I regard it extremely important that the company immediately send Mr. Jordan Herbert Stabler to Bogotá with full power to act, as I have been given to understand that his presence here would greatly facilitate a settlement. He is close friend of the Foreign Minister, who desires to talk with him. I feel confident that the matter can be satisfactorily settled within a month or so.
