The Ambassador in Chile (Culbertson) to the Secretary of State

173. The Foreign Office expressed concern yesterday whether Edwards would be able promptly to regularize his status as Chilean Chargé d’Affaires in Washington. I do not know what difficulty is feared but it may be the absence of recognition. The Foreign Office will appreciate anything you can do to facilitate this matter since they do not desire to leave Blanco Viel in charge.
