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

23. My telegram No. 22, April 18. Todd called on me this morning and asked me to endeavor to arrange an opportunity for him to communicate with Barletta. Accordingly I am writing to the Minister for Foreign Affairs informally in the sense of the Department’s telegram number 8 and requesting him to advise me whether and if so when I may present Todd to him for the purpose of making desired arrangements.2
