Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Phelps’ dispatch without number, written at sea, April 29, 1884, reporting the presentation of letters of credence to the President of Peru.

Now that the suspense is over, it is trusted that events will prove that Peru is ready to deal with us on all points affecting the relations of the two countries, or the rights of American citizens.

I am, &c.,

FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
