The Secretary of State to the Minister in Guatemala ( Hanna )

No. 171

Sir: The receipt is acknowledged of your despatch No. 564 of March 9, 1935, with reference to relations between Guatemala and Costa Rica. I have read your report with great interest and wish to commend you for your prompt and effective action in a situation which otherwise might clearly have had results prejudicial to the interest of the United States.

Very truly yours,

Cordell Hull
