Dear Sir: The Bluff Improvement Land Company handed a protest to Minister Baker while in Bluefields in April last.

The protest was against the Nicaraguan authorities expropriating said company’s property.

Kindly let me know what action has been taken in the matter and what the result may be.

Respectfully,
