10. Your 13, September 23, 4 p.m. I am very hopeful that Grady may see the President without fail on Monday and that you will be able to send me by rush cable the President’s decision. Nothing would be more hopeful than for me to be able to inform the Cuban delegates of a favorable decision in this regard and to advise them that a representative of the Department will proceed to Habana in the very near future for the purpose of restoring to Cuba the tariff benefits mentioned.
