Minister Fox to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

Department’s May 15, also Sherrill’s May 14. Argentina has diplomatic representative residing here. Argentine minister accredited here has never been officially received. He resides in Lima. Charge d’affaires of Brazil has received no instructions as yet, but we are preparing note to be ready for immediate delivery when he receives his authority.

Under the circumstances, shall charge d’affaires of Brazil and I proceed jointly without Argentina? Full instructions asked for.

Fox.
