The Under Secretary of State ( Welles ) to the Secretary of State

22. The Bolivian Foreign Minister asked me again this morning to expedite the decision regarding the advance presented in our No. 18, September 26, 8 p.m.

I should appreciate it if the Department could secure a definite reply by Saturday at the latest. In view of the genuineness of the need and the character of the security, I believe it important that an agreement be reached.
