Mr. Bayard to Mr. Perez.

My Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to acknowledge receipt of your unofficial note of the 3d instant, transmitting for my information a certified copy of the treaty signed at Managua, July 26, 1887, by the Presidents of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, with a view to the adjustment of the present boundary difficulty between those two Republics.

[Page 270]

I beg to add, in respect of your kind offer to furnish me with a copy of this treaty should I desire it, that a copy has already been made and retained in the Department, and to tender you a sincere and grateful expression of my thanks for your thoughtfulness and courtesy in this matter.

I herewith return your copy of the treaty as desired.

I am, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
