The Secretary of State to the Minister in the Dominican Republic (Schoenfeld)

[Washington,] May 13, 1933.

Dear Mr. Schoenfeld: I take pleasure in introducing to you, by this letter, Mr. Joseph E. Davies, who is leaving Washington today for Santo Domingo. Mr. Davies has been asked by President Trujillo to come to the Dominican Republic and look into the financial situation with a possibility that Mr. Davies will be appointed attorney for the Dominican Government in connection with such matters.

Any assistance and courtesies which you can properly extend to Mr. Davies, whom I have known for many years, will be much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Cordell Hull
