The Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 18.]
Sir: Referring to previous correspondence having to do with negotiations for the resumption of payments on the Brazilian foreign debt, I have the honor to report that in informal conversation today with the Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs I remarked to him that although I appreciate fully the present difficulties of the Brazilian Government in the way of making a settlement at this time of their foreign debts, I do not expect the Brazilian Government to take advantage of this situation and attempt to put off indefinitely the resumption of the interrupted conversations. The Minister for Foreign Affairs stated that he concurs with me on this.
Respectfully yours,
