General: You were kind enough to announce to my
predecessor that Congress had passed the bill providing for the
participation of the United States in the International Exhibition of
1878.
It is with lively satisfaction that I notice this communication, and I
would be obliged if you would convey to your government an expression of
the thanks of the government of the republic for a decision which, by
assuring the concurrence of American exhibitors, will contribute to the

the honor to be, general, your most humble and obedient servant,
