Mr. Bayard to Mr. Soteldo .

Department of State,
Washington , December 7, 1885.

Sir: I have the honor, in the interest of Mr. Wheelock, the American citizen in whose favor an award of $6,000 was made not long since by Venezuela, to call your attention to the circumstance that the second installment, due October 3 last, has not been received at this Department.

I can but express great regret, in which I believe you will share, at this seeming failure to carry out the international pledge referred to.

Accept, &c.,

T. F. BAYARD.
