The Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Mexican Embassy.1

[Memorandum—Translation.]

At the interview I had today with the Ambassador of the United States I offered to act in the spirit of cordiality that prevails in the relations of the two countries and animated by my personal sentiments of friendship toward the Government of the United States, so that all the cases that are to come under my examination and are pending in this Department may be settled on terms favorable to the interests of both countries. [I said] That I indulge the certainty that the excellent disposition manifested by that Government will bear beneficial results in every sense and that they are highly appreciated by the people and Government of Mexico.

De la Barra.
