Dear Mr. Keyes:
Thank you kindly for your letter of October 14th providing information on individuals in Mexico City who I may contact for information on exploration activities.
In line with your suggestion I am asking a former associate of ours who lives in Mexico, Mr. William Dettmer, to call on Eduardo Guerrier for additional information on copper exploration activities in Sonora.
Would you be kind enough to let me know if and when you are reassigned to a new post as minerals attache for the Department of State.
Sincerely yours,
