Yesterday I called at the American Consulate & found the Consul General out. The vice Consul, Hitchcock would not endorse any check for $200.00 on Natl. Metropolitan Bank. After I showed him T.R. letter I recommendation. It is considered O.K. here but it is against the Office rules. Today I called on the Manager of the International Banking Corporation & he also refused to cash any check unless endorsed by a local resident known to him. After I flashed T.R. letter a hint.
