The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Scotten) to the Secretary of State
Ciudad
Trujillo, September 7,
1940—noon.
[Received 2:04 p.m.]
[Received 2:04 p.m.]
163. From Wilson. Your 135, September 6, 8 p.m. We met the Dominicans this morning and received full agreement in accordance with the telegram under reference.
[Page 828]Your final sentence reads, “Please telegraph, clean drafts of all texts”.
The documents are so lengthy for coding that you would hardly receive by telegraph the full texts before Sunday night32 in Washington. Hence I am venturing to modify your instruction and I am sending full clean texts by open air mail to reach you Monday morning. [Wilson.]
Scotten
