The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan)
44. Your No. 35, March 23, noon. Following for Sackville.
“The situation has greatly changed since you were instructed to undertake your present mission and the Department feels that in view thereof it would be inadvisable for you to enter Peruvian or Colombian territory. The Department, therefore, suggests that you remain for a few days on the Brazilian side of the frontier and collect such information as is available to you there concerning the situation along the lines indicated in the Department’s telegram No. 35 of February 17 to the Embassy at Rio de Janeiro. You should then return to Rio de Janeiro transmitting to the Department by air mail from Para while en route if practicable a full report with respect to your observations.”
