The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Peru (Dearing)

No. 511
Washington, April 20, 1933.

Sir: The Department acknowledges the receipt of your despatch No. 2733 of March 31, 1933, in which reference is made to the request of the Colombian Foreign Office for a report regarding the sacking of the Colombian Legation at Lima on February 16.

The Department concurs in your belief that it would be inadvisable for the Embassy to make such a report and has addressed an appropriate instruction to the Legation at Bogotá concerning this matter, a copy of which instruction is transmitted herewith for your information.13

Very truly yours,

For the Secretary of State:
Francis White
