The Secretary of State to the Consul at Nuevo Laredo (Boyce)

Your December 4, 6 p.m. Last night Department sent an appropriate telegram to the Governor of Texas with the view of having him take suitable steps to prevent any interference with General Calles’ liberty and safety while traveling through Texas. Governor has just replied that he feels certain that there are no charges pending against General Calles and that no action will be taken by Valls to arrest Calles or otherwise embarrass him.

Please telegraph such comment as you may wish to make on Governor’s statements.
