The Secretary of State to the Minister in Liberia (Mitchell)

[Paraphrase]

33. Your attitude to the present regime in Liberia is assumed to be in accord with the Department’s instructions telegraphed in its No. 24, February 20, 1 p.m. I propose to consider the question again immediately following the Liberian elections, and you should then telegraph a report in summary of the political situation, referring particularly to the points which were outlined in No. 24, and with your recommendations respecting the desirability of your credentials being presented.
