Mr. Davis to Mr. Halderman.

Department of State,
Washington, September 11, 1884.

No. 57.]

Sir: I have received your No. 103, of July 16 last, accompanied by a copy of a letter addressed to you, wherein Prince Nares Warariddhi, of the special mission from Siam, lately in the United States, speaks of the cordial reception accorded his mission here. While his letter has been read with appreciation, yet I may observe that the United States Government has always found” pleasure in testifying its good will to those foreign Governments which manifest a disposition to become better acquainted with our country, its institutions and modes of progress; and omits no course which may serve to knit closer their mutual relations of friendliness and material benefit.

I am, &c.,

JOHN DAVIS,
Acting Secretary.
