The Secretary of State to the Minister in Honduras (Lay)

51. Your 239 June 1.11 Department considers you would be justified in suggesting to interested American citizens that they prepare statements of losses supported by evidence now available, and present such statements to Honduran Government, advising you of such action. It would apparently be advisable to accompany suggestion by counseling moderation in amounts claimed.

It is further believed that at the proper time it would be appropriate for you to inform the Foreign Office that you have been advised that American citizens have presented such statements, and to ask that they be given prompt consideration with a view to equitable adjustments.
