The Secretary of State to the Representative of the United States on the Guatemalan-Honduran Boundary Commission (Davis)
7. The Department has notified the Governments of Guatemala and Honduras that you have been named as the American representative on the Mixed Commission, the time and place of the first meeting will be communicated to you later. You should be prepared to leave on short notice. You are authorized to take with you one private secretary, whom you may select, and you may draw on the Department for the necessary transportation and subsistence expenses for yourself and private secretary, but not at a fixed rate per diem, rendering a separate account. The Department doubts the necessity of your being accompanied by a civil engineer, but if it should be advisable at a later date to send an American engineer to join the Commission the Department will give further consideration to the question.
