The Chargé in Peru (Mayer) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 31—1:23 a.m.]
177. [Paraphrase.] Department’s 97, August 30, 1 p.m. I received assurances of Grow’s safety from Sanchez Cerro through Blaisdell at Arequipa (my 155, August 26, 11 p.m.), and from Colonel Montagne, Foreign Minister. In my interview with Colonel Montagne yesterday (my 171, August 29, 10 p.m.), these seem to be satisfactory. In fact, I do not see how we could ask for additional. This afternoon I sent Major Allen to the War Department to arrange [for dispatching?] clothing to Grow. Major Allen was taken to see Sanchez Cerro at latter’s instance. Permission to send clothing was granted. Sanchez Cerro made a very favorable impression on Major Allen. [End paraphase.]
On receipt of complete information from Department re Grow, I expect discuss matter with Sanchez Cerro or Minister for Foreign Affairs.
My 174, August 30, 1 p.m.,7a is response to second paragraph Department’s 97, August 30, 1 p.m.
