The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Weddell)
Washington, September
27, 1941—8 p.m.
524. Your 858, September 24, 5 p.m. The Department is convinced that Cárdenas is honestly trying to clear up this unsatisfactory situation in the hope of improving general relations. His presence in Madrid may offer a satisfactory opportunity of withdrawing these notes, of which the Department feels we should not hesitate to take advantage. If, therefore, Cárdenas should offer to return to you your note, the Department is of the opinion that you should reciprocate.
