The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Cuba (Welles)
Washington, December 9, 1933—3
p.m.
140. Your 501, December 8, 11 a.m. The President asked me to say that he believes it would be well for you to make your plans to leave on the evening of the 12th or the 13th. Caffery is now at his home in Louisiana and will presumably reach Habana a few days after your departure. We all feel that it would be best for him not to give the appearance of hastening to Habana immediately after you have left.
