Sir: I have received your No. 94 of the 1st ultimo, regarding the cabinet of the recently elected President of Chili.

The entrance upon the responsible duties of minister of foreign affairs of Señor Godoy, so long and favorably known during his diplomatic residence in Washington, is a guaranty that he will bring to the discharge of his duties an intimate knowledge of our country and its people, and a strong conviction of their friendship for Chili which will be beneficial to the good relationship and earnest sympathy which this Government so consistently desires to maintain with that Republic.

I am, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
