Mr.. Minister:
My government: having been informed
OF the organization a: Magdelena o. u nat.
IN your circular note 10 me Of Ap,il 30tb
last Is styled provisional government
under the presidency Of Don Francisco
Garcia Calderon, has given me instruc-I
tons IN substance that if fLd. first. that
such provisional government is supported
by the weight of character and influence
OF Peru; second, that it is endeayorinp to-
restore constitutional government with
the view Doth to Internal order and nego-
tlstions with Chill for peace, then I am
to recoG niZe it as provisional govern
ment. Believing from the best evidence
L can obtain that each Of these hypotheti-
cal proportions Is sufficiently established
n the affirm native, therefore formally
Express such recognition on the part oil
the government of the United States.
