Letter : New York to Hon. J. M. Mason, 1853 February 19.

Squier disagrees with Senator Edward Everett's proposal to consolidate U.S. missions in Central America; the cities are too far apart from Guatemala to Costa Rica. Independence for San Juan can only be effected by forcible interposition at the expense of other relations in Central America. England will withdraw her protectorate if the U.S. guarenteed its security. It was an error to negotiate with England. Additional area covered is New York (State).
