Nelson P. Webster reports to William Loeb on an ammunition request by the Cuban government. Although General Fred C. Ainsworth says they have no evidence from the Cuban government or the firm of Hartley and Graham regarding the request, the Cuban chargé d’affaires reports that there was a dispatch to that end. Webster reviews the telegram that was sent in reply to this request outlining the terms upon which the ammunition would be delivered.
