Mr. Bayard to Mr. de Muruaga.

Department of State,
Washington, August 31, 1887.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 23d instant, accepting the slight modification proposed in my note of the 16th instant, of the draught of a renewed agreement contained in your note of the 12th July, establishing a modus vivendi for the commerce of the two countries; and I transmit a copy of your draught thus amended, in both languages, which, if it seems to be correct, you will no doubt kindly return at your convenience, suggesting some time when it will prove agreeable to sign the memorandum.

There seems to be no objection to the instrument being sealed in accordance with your wishes.

Accept, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
