The Consul at Seville (Bay) to the Secretary of State
Seville, October 5, 1938—11

58. Referring to my telegram No. 55, August 26, 11 a.m. and Department’s 46, August 27, 2 p.m.98 Having received no reply to my personal note of August 29, I telephoned Señor Vidal today. He stated it was wholly impossible to consider the release of American prisoners but he would be glad to receive any concrete proposal for their exchange. My impression is that Burgos authorities do not want to act in this matter.
