Mr. Bayard to Mr. Bragg.

Department of State,
Washington, July 31, 1888.

No. 92.]

Sir: I have received your No. 94, of the 18th instant, and have read with much satisfaction your congratulatory speech to President Diaz on his recent re-election.

I have also observed your gift of a floral piece, suitably inscribed, in honor of the Juarez commemorative services. While it was perfectly proper that you should have manifested your sympathetic regard in an entirely personal way, this does not preclude the Department from expressing its gratification that you did so.

I am, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
